What are these under the tow hooks??

Hey all, I just installed a Baja Kits valence on my 15' and I love it. However, what in the hell are these??

 

 

They look ridiculous lol. Can I just cut them and move on?

My service manager told me they were used during the truck building phase at the factory. I did remove mine on my 2008 1500 to allow me to put a hidden winch kit. Never had a issue due to there removal. I took a portaband saw and just sliced them off, took a small grinder smoothed it up and went on with my project.

Frame locators during assembly. Hack them off if you wish.

I was told they were a safety feature for if you were to rear end a car or something like that, those things would actually "catch" the object and help stop your truck from going more on top of the vehicle.

As they are normally hidden behind the bumper, I don't see them being designed to catch anything. Catch the bumper maybe.
