When using a weight distribution hitch on a vehicle with factor air suspension like what your Tahoe has, it is ideal to disable the system and let the weight distribution hitch do the work.

This may require pulling a fuse like you mentioned, but I recommend checking your owner's manual to see if there is another way to temporarily disable the system.

If you are unable to disable the system you can setup the hitch after hooking up your trailer and letting the air suspension level the best it can. If you setup the weight distribution hitch before letting the air suspension do its thing, you will likely have the weight distribution hitch and suspension working against each other.
