Smile 2.5" or 3" leveling kit

hey im thinking of leveling my truck but im not sure if i shoud do a 2.5" or 3" level
based of this picture or experiance someone could help me

also i want to put towing mirrors on but im a little tight on funds right now so im just taking the easy way out and putting little blind spot mirrors does anyone know the best location to put them that would help with 1.) blind spots and 2.) backing into parking spaces

i have 2.5 and if you look at the ball joints there already not at the best angle so 3 would just be askin to wear them out alot faster

2" leveling kit or Bilstein 5100's. Tunaslayer and many others will back me on this. Less stress will make you a lot happier in the end.
