It can be done in a press. I lay the main leaf on the floor and trace it in chalk for a reference. Press the arch out until you like it and trace it and make the other side match your mark.

I have taken one of the lower leaves out and flipped it over. Then fabbed up a couple of clamps to pull the spring packs together. Worked great! Was done on my brother in law's 69 F100. flipped the second leaf (one right below the main leaf) and it pulled the back of the truck down about 3 1/2".
