Rear spring wedge question

I have an 89 f250 IFS, I realized the other day that I had sheared a leafstack bolt, so this weekend I decided to change both bolts/sides and put it all back together.

While doing so, I saw that on my passenger side I have a wedge inbetween the leafs and perch on the axle, I know that it is for pinion angle adjustment, my question is did I lose one, or is there always just one? The wear marks are not the same on both spring bottoms, but that could just be an anomaly..

Thanks for the input, I dont work on this truck often enough to even remember if it had one on both sides or not..

I figured as much, were they factory or was this something that would have come with a 3" leveling kit, It has been on there for 10 years and I cannot remember what came with the kit, and what I reused.
