I don't have my territory book handy so not sure if it says anything in there but it also has two tow bar specs. Standard and HD. Standard goes up to 1600kg, and HD up to 2300 (2700 for awd diesel). It does mention not to use load levellers with the std bar so one would assume you could tow up to that weight on the HD bar without them...
Having said that, they are more about ball weight than overall weight and trailers come in all different shapes and sizes so they can't really put an actual figure on it. Some trailers, like some horse floats have less weight up front while trailers like hard floor camper trailers have substantial ball weight due to the axle being rather rearward.
I'd say it would be based on how much your vehicle drops once the trailer is hooked up that determines whether or not you need to use them.
I'll check my manual once I get home and see what that says.
