Default rear spring hanger (pic)

It's Spring time and it's time to put more dough in the vette. This year I decided to do my rear suspension.The rear spring hangers were so rusted that I had to cut off the bolts.But my question is why is there 2 extra washers on the bottom?
This is the picture of the lower part of the hangers.The set that I bought from willcox's have 1 washer on each bushing.Do you guys think it was modified by someone or was is factory............

The extra washers raise the rear of the car.Same as using a shorter bolt.
