Expert Reply:

The Curt hitch part # C14029 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 1998 Chevy Tahoe and would allow you still fit your rear spare tire under the rear of your vehicle.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would then want the # C55319 which is a confirmed fit.
