Lower OR raise beetle

How long should it take to lower or raise the rear of a 1960 beetle if you know what you are doing and have done it before ?
My beetle is to low to drive and I need to raise it a notch. Thanks

Really all depends on if everything comes apart nicely or if bolts are seized or break. If one of the bolts breaks on the spring plate cover you can probably add a couple hours.
