As in most things in life, it depends. I have done this process many times
on both swing axle and IRS VWs. Did it a couple of months ago on my panel
van to reverse some idiot's rat rod lowering job they had done to
it. Simple and took about 1 hour total time on each side (2 hours
total). BUT! I have also gotten into ones where it wasn't simple and
everything that could go wrong did in fact go wrong. Example: Worked once
all day long on one side trying to get it right. Point: It can be simple;
but it can also run into problems, particularly if you've never done one
before.

Again, I only know about Splitty tech, but raising or lowering your bus by removing the springplates and re-installing them at a different angle is not really that hard to do. I would say that the hardest thing is disconnecting and reconnecting the shocks. Do not fear.

I read the three posts to the typeII list Dan sent links to and learned a lot. And after thinking about switching torsion bars, figured that could end up to be a very bad thing.
Shirley, I'm pretty sure the front stabilizer bar from a 68 is the same. I have a front stabilizer bar from a 71 hanging on the fence by garage if you want it.

A lot. One spline movement is probably way too much. On a swing axle one spline on the outer probably increases height of bus by 2" or more and increases camber probably 10 degrees. Don't switch bars. Sammie
