Any input welcome.

I was advised to go 2" either side so you would need 10" closed 14" open

IIRC, when Escort live axles and trailing arms are nicely parallel, the axle sits only 1" above the bottom chassis rails so if you went 2"
either way, wouldn't your axle hit the chassis on a tight corner or a big bump?
