The minimum shop time for something like that will be at least 2 hours per wheel, possibly up to 3 or 4 hours per wheel.
Meanwhile the only maintenance my leaf drive system has had was tires at 60,000 an oil change at 70,000 miles, even then the oil change isn't recommended for 2011.
By 2015 and up they recommend 110,000 miles.
I agree. A technician, trained to diagnose, then repair a wide range of systems costs that much and more.

But, we aren’t talking about that dude.

We are talking about bench production work. Anyone with a room temp IQ Aand a modicum if manual dexterity, can be trained to perform such a task. If you can keep him busy, his costs should be a good bit below 50/hr.
