I've always called them step or drop bumpers. Also seems like that bumper is supposed to be chrome.

im referring to the shock for when your pulling something. I have one of my truck that has cylinders on it and it cushions the pull, and the tongue of the hitch pulls out so its easier to hook up.

I've always heard them called "shock bumpers" or "ag hitch bumpers". You're right, rmalott... they are to help dampen the jolts when pulling a trailer. I've seen them made by many different companies. Some of the more elaborate ones have a hydraulic tank and pump to really take the shocks away.

When they first came out they were called: Low Impact Bumpers.

as they had built in dampeners to allow No Damage when hit at low speeds
ie: when people parallel park.

I think GM was first to have them on cars
