flip-kit questions

My truck has been lowered the wrong way. The rear-end has just had some leafs removed, leaving the longest and shortest. How hard is a flip kit to install? How much do they run? Whats a good brand to buy? Will my truck be about the same height?(Right now the top of my 275/60s are barely hidden by the fender wells.) Can I use stock springs from a salvage yard truck? (breathe Wes...)
I can't stand the bounce or the bumpstops smacking the rear axle. Also, I get lots of torque twist at the rear joint cause the leafs offer no support when I get on it.
