Question:
I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe with the factory roof rack. Will this system work with the roof rack? and what else do I need?

Yes, the Thule Hull-A-Port kayak carrier # TH834 will fit the factory roof rack on your 2007 Chevy Tahoe. the carrier comes with straps and bow/stern tie downs so you will not need anything else to mount the kayak.
I do recommend using a tire step, # HE4040, which is going to be much safer than standing in an open vehicle doorway.
Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Chevy for the roof rack weight capacity prior to loading.
