Hi there and welcome to GM Trucks! Nice looking truck you've got there.

 

Throttle body spacers make good paper weights and that is about it. Unless you like the noise they make. Where the caveat is that they may only do some good on wet intake systems. That is carborated or throttle body injected engines.

Since you wanted to know what they did, they increase the volume of the intake runners so when you open the throttle you get a bit more vaccuum and a tad more throttle response (which is why they do nothing for anything but carburated or TBI vehicles because in those examples the fuel is added in front of the vaccuum, not after). They may have other benefits but I know of none besides added noise.
