Default EST: Labour Time on shock replacement

1993 SC300 or 400 for that matter im sure isnt any different..
all 4 shocks need to be replaced. Wondering what time frame i should expect.
the only lexus dealer here said Mitchell says 8.4 Hours..
I cant see it being just over 2 hours Per corner..
if i had the tools and space id do it myself but my celica took me all of an hour per corner doing it for my first time..

Is this actually accurate with the SC's or just a bunch of BS.

I have done it on a few vehicles. It takes 2 hours the most with hand tools!!! But then you will have to take it somewhere for wheel alignment. The dealership is ripping you off.
