Under truck support brace
I have been seeing on a lot of new trucks lately some sort of brace that looks like it runs from somewhere near the front jacking point diagonally up to the front crossmember or somewhere thereabouts.
What is it, what trucks have it, and could I benefit from adding it?

My '01 has these cross braces. They're tubular, right?
My understanding is that the frame changed from all hydroformed in 99-00 to only partially hydroformed (I think from the cab back, but I'm not sure) in 01-02. I'm not sure about the 03-04 trucks--since the framehorns changed, anything's possible.
Why are they there? I dunno. I'd love to whack mine off. They hang up on speedbumps and are damned near flat anyway.
