In order to carry your Ascend DC156 Canoe on a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe I recommend using the Thule Portage Canoe Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # TH819. The Thule Portage simply wraps around the crossbars and then holds the canoe in place by applying pressure to both sides. It also comes with bow/stern tie-down straps to further secure the canoe to your vehicle. I recommend that you spread the crossbars out as much as possible to dissipate the load evenly.

In order to help with getting the canoe onto the roof you may also be interested in the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Bar part # RTL002 which could also be left installed once the canoe is loaded for even more support. I have attached an install photo of the Portage for you as well on a similar suv.
