how do you go about flipping leaf springs. Is this a two man job or is it simply taking them out turning over and putting back together
Any hints or tips

Do you mean an axle flip? That involves removing the axle from the springs and either moving to under the spring to raise the ride height, or on top of the spring to lower the ride height. There is a little more involved brake pipes, spring plate mounts etc

No, there's is such a spring as a spring flip. Common on American trucks, you turn a couple of leafs over then clamp em back together so they're working against each other and it pulls it lower. Typically the third and fifth springs in a pack.
They ride like sh1t and break the leafs pretty often though , it's not a recommended way of doing it. Decambering and/or blocks is the proper way.
