Another reason for using the sleeve....
I have a 2.5" receiver. Debated on what to do. Decided in the end to use the sleeve. I actually had a shop weld it in. Over Christmas holidays, truck broke down, about 50 miles from home, in middle of nowhere. Tow truck came out. He had to use my hitch to hook the TT to the tow truck. Good thing my shank was 2" or my TT would have been left sitting on the side of the road. His hitch on the tow truck was 2". Put the truck on the flat bed, and towed the trailer behind his truck.
