Question about the front spring upper perch

The previous owner had 1.75” plastic spacers and are these extensions for the bumpstops factory or aftermarket, and should I remove or keep?

If I keep, can I use the factory bumpstops?
Also, the coil spring spacer rubber rings, should I keep or eliminate?? Probably shootin in the dark on how these will affect new spring ride height Im assuming but the rear did NOT have these….so guessing leveling function??

See all 3 pics here
Bumpstop cup extension ?



Old springs vs 2.5” Ranchero lift springs

Looks like you have an extra factory spacer plus the big one. Bump stop looks factory to me, other than missing the rubber jounce bumper.
 
Those bump stop mounts are 100% factory.

Ranchero lift springs? 🤣
