Default I dont think this block is factory???

The other night I was under my jeep and was looking at the leaf springs and I saw these blocks. I don't think they are factory since my leaf springs are curved the wrong way right now. I plan on getting new springs when I put my Dana 44 in (picking up one this weekend). Does anyone have pictures of what factory (if there were even any) look like? I'm trying to fix the PO horrible "fixes".
Thanks for any help given

lift blocks are not factory, but to a noob, the spring perches can look like a block. so pics would help.

you said your springs are curved the wrong way, is the rear sagging or do these blocks bring the rear back up to stock height?

Those are "aftermarket" and not factory. they are also aluminum and cheap, they can crack and break.

this is what factory looks like (no block), the springs in this pic has an AAL, but ignore that.
