Default Is my truck missing something...?

I went to a Dodge dealership with a friend of mine this weekend and I noticed something strange.
I looked under the trucks on the dealers lot, right below the driver's and passenger's doors, I saw something that looked like a balancing metal ***** of some sort.
Then I looked under my 2009 Ram Crew Cab Sport 4x4 and I did not see those metal plates/*****. I did see the mounting brackets, but the actual paert was missing.
Do you guys know what that is called and what its function is? Should I be worried?

Thank you!

ROLF!

That is odd. I've been under my truck a number of times, and I don't recall seeing anything like what you describe.

If your talking about the harmonic things on the frame I was told the Hemi has them and the 4.7 will not.

They look like black metal hemispheres, the size of a mans fist
Located right below the front doors on the frame
