53 F100 extra leaf spring

Hey guys. I just noticed while reassembling my stock front leaf springs that one side has an extra leaf totaling 9 leafs. My book says it should have 8 which the other side does. I can't imagine leaving it there when the other side only has 8. Thoughts??

Welcome to FTE

WAG, maybe had a sag and a prior owner added a leaf to even things out? Tough to think of another reason, would be inclined to replace them with new springs anyway, especially when they are already removed. Although, those look to be relatively new?
