Oh DW that means you will be fine, the light bars work on Tahoes but just leave a small space behind the bar due to the curve!
Your Tahoe looks how it would on a 2/4 drop in your Photoshop, go Pedders (w/o insulators) or Belltech as they are the only quality ones that will achieve it!

Did you clear coat your lights? After the clear completely dried I water sanded with 2000 untill it was completely smooth and look like they were flat black. Then I buffed them out 2-3 times with rubbing compound with my porter cable set on speed 4-4.5 Then I used some Adams Swirl and Haze remover to hide any little swirl or scratches, then used some wax to seal them off:Handshake:
