From everything I have seen they are called overriders. And from what I have read they protect the bumper for when you are parking (they susposedly stick out just a little bit). I personally don't believe that explanation. I believe someone just came up with that after seeing them.

if you think back to the early test mule pics from pickuptrucks.com, thay had an '04 front bumper on the '09 frame and it stuck out ~6" in front of the grill. my guess is the "black boxes" are covering the frame horns.
 in case your in an accident the forces transmit to the frame first and then the bumper

Yes I had thought of the "frame horn" theory also.
We've got one coming into the body shop next week and I'll do some snooping.
