I've heard of people flipping the front leafs over to change the rake and leveling...good idea?

Never heard of flipping the leaves... maybe flipping the shackles?

I'd go with a add-a-leaf, or if you need it to come up more maybe some 2" lift springs?

if you are referring to the infamous Powerstroke Sag, then just replace the front springs with new ones. I did and they were not too hard to do. There is most likely a spring shop nearby and they can make some up for you. I would not have the stock ones rebent as they could be weakened.

One drawback is that the new leaf springs could be a bit stiffer, thus the ride may be a bit more harsh. However, they will most likely last much longer.

Be sure and get a new alignment after the springs are installed.
