I did not like using the sleeve so I bought a 2-1/2" drop shank. The Curt shank was cheaper than the Equal-i-zer shank and works great. There is a longer version as well if your truck sits really tall. I thought that I would need the taller shank with the taller truck and our low riding Airstream so I bought the 10". That was too tall, bottoming out on driveway apron. I use the bottom set of holes on the linked shank and everything lines up perfectly.
We have a lot of tongue weight and the bigger shank bumped us up from 1,000 lb max tongue rating to 1,500 lb max tongue rating. So, there is a little added peace of mind.
