What is it - 5/15/2008 9:55:20 PM    Hemi636   Posts: 10 Joined: 4/17/2008 Status: offline 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? _____________________________ 2006 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 "Big Horn" Quad cab Hemi Post #: 1
