just look at all the posts on lowering a type 3, bugs are the same also, and move the trailing arm the oposite way. you'll probably only want to move one or two splines down. i've helped raise my friends baja and the hardest part was realigning the bushing cover because you put more tension on the arm when you raise it. my car was like yours when i got it, rear end was sagging. instead of raising the rear, it was easier to lower the front to match.

It covers lowering, but all you have to do is opposite when it comes to the trailing arms. I hope this helps.
