I too, would recommend you get one. The one I think would suit you the best, is this one.
It's clean (no need to carry grease or lubricant of any kind), quiet (no moaning and groaning of WD bars), lite weight (60 lbs total weight), and has been reported to work very well with liter tongue weights.
For the Tahoe, Chevrolet specifies that a WDH should be adjusted to give 100% Front Axle Load Restoration.
The OP's trailer is likely to have a tongue weight in excess of 600#.
Twelve users of the Andersen WDH have reported load distribution results for tongue weights in the range of 500-800#. The calculated FALR values were in the range of 40-60%.
Of the Andersen users reports I've seen, only two users have reported FALR values in excess of 90% -- and those were for tongue weights of 400#.
