Since Precice 2 is safer and still available, I’m wondering whether lengthening on side of leg is possible? That gives more flexibility and when one side “kinda” consolidates, then we do the other side?

Definitely possible. Paley doesn't do this but the other US doctors do.

Half the risk of fat embolism, pulmonary embolism, half the stress on the body at any point of time, greater degree of independence. That logic is very good.

Dr. Lee can offer even one leg half lengthening now and second half  lengthening after few months. He  need money because he has  invested a lot of money to build
 his hospital for limb lengthening.

Not agree with you . you know again you have to go to hospital again xrays , anaesthesia , again a lot of antibiotics and pain killer and will take a lot of time and pain again , if your first surgery is failed or complications occurs this will be completely different types of experience.

X rays are cheap and low radiation. The anaesthetic will be shorter. Antibiotics should be prophylactic only around the surgery, no prolonged use. Pain killers are patient dependent and won't be as bad. A lot of doctors do second leg before first has been fully consolidated.

Most doctors offer it

Because they want more money. Obviously
If paley doesn’t do it that’s a sign not to do it

I think Parihar offers this. He is the least after money from CLL and is extremely careful.
