Default What is it

I was putting on a set of nerf bars, and noticed a strange looking dodad along the frame under the cab of my truck. It looked like two rubber wheels about 4-5" in diameter mounted along the frame rail. I don't know if this is some kind of dampener or what. Maybe the previous owner put them on, I don't know. Does anybody else have these, or know what they are?

If we're talking about the same thing, they aren't connected to anything (except the frame, of course) ...I'll try to post a pic (first time, bear with me).

So that is where my old skateboard wheels went. Hmmm, don't have them on my '05 either. There is just a slot in the frame right there on mine.

Should the pre 06' owners retro-fit these to go along with our muffler bearings?

Is this the brand that you have? I was wondering if anyone could that has these could give their opinion of what they think of them.
