To determine how much drop/rise you need you need to measure from the top of the hitch opening on your Tahoe down to the ground and then while your trailer is level measure from the bottom lip of the coupler to the ground. The difference between these dimensions is the drop/rise you need.
The shank we have with the most drop is the Curt # C17125 which can do a drop of up to 16-1/4 inches if the system is a round bar system or 15-3/4 inches if the system is a trunnion bar.
