I was able to find the owners manual for the 2017 Chevy Tahoe and added an image from the owners manual regarding the trailer maximum weights that a Chevy Tahoe can tow. However, I recommend to take a look at your particular owner's manual because it mentions a lot of information regarding other ratings not to exceed such as the gross vehicle weight rating and axle weight rating.

If you do not have the parts to tow from the factory, I recommend part # C55774 for the 7-way wiring and B&W tow & Stow part # BWTS10048B for the ball mount. The Tow & Stow is an adjustable ball mount that gives you up to 5" Drop or 5-1/2" Rise.

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
