Rear leaf spring suburban?

[Wallace6]

Is this normal for an 87 ,I have never seen springs like this. I usually work on earlier years and 87 is a weird year.
I was planning to ad add a leaf and new shocks but the rear springs look odd especially since the shackle hanger is bolted and the front side of the rear springs is still riveted. Maybe a 56" swap?

I can’t really tell anything from the pics but both brackets would have been rivoted from the factory.

Yeah I know the pics suck but if you look at the 1st picture,that is the rear of the spring and the main leaf bends up and the rear bracket is bolted and not riveted.
I was just going to do an add a leaf but maybe I should do New springs?
Thanks

The spring looks normal to me. It’s hard to tell in this pic but my rear springs are the same way, you can see that the top leaf is right in line with the bolt.

Don't know if its normal for your 87 but I've had many trucks with spring ends like that. Some in my driveway..

I can't tell anything from the photos, but I will say the repair on the assembly line for a missing or mis-hit rivet was a 3/8" bolt and nut.
