I think you are going to need all new leafs. If you have the leafs in the above picture, they were probably added to compensate for a sagging factory spring. Your truck should probably sit higher than it does. ....
just looked at the pic, hard to tell from the angle you shot. But it looks factory.

A new set of shocks would probably help your bounce problem. With a small lift (1" - 2") you would be looking at the Bilstein 5100 series. Excellent shock absorber for these trucks. You just need to be precise about your truck when you order because there are a lot of different options for the '99 F250 depending on the build date. To be sure of the right model#, I'd be talking to Bilstein directly.
