Anyone have any idea what these things are on the frame of the Ram 1500? They are right under the passenger and drive side doors. They collect water and leave rust stains on my garage floor so I want to remove them. I don't see the point of them.

What he said ^^^

Not so sure you would want to remove them for what they supposedly do. If the rust is the issue, then you could try coating them with rust converter.

Oh ok. Pretty dumb that Dodge couldn't coat these in something that wouldn't rust but yea I'll probably try coating them.

You can remove them and see if any (additional) vibration occurs.
If you feel they do their job, coat them and put'em back on.
Otherwise just leave them off.
I took mine off and still had no vibration, so I left them off.
