My limits were a little off, but the premise with the sleeve is the same. This sticker is located directly on my hitch.
That is interesting. I just went out and looked at mine. It has no separate rating for when the sleeve is used. I can't think of a logical reason as to why the receiver would be weaker when using the sleeve... It should feel the forces as if a 2.5 stinger were in place.
The receiver is not weaker when using the sleeve. The tow rating is reduced because you are only using a 2" hitch. When you leave the sleeve out you can use the 2 1/2" hitch thus your capacity increases.
