Stupid question? What is this thing?

[MountaineerRaptor]

I'm looking to get an ADD bumper and some photos of the bumper show something that appears to be attached to the bumper or just inside the bumper. Can someone tell me what this do-hickie is? (it's the silver thing with the orange dot in the center)
)

Shock reservoir?

This. Aftermarket shock fluid reservoir.

Shock reservoir?

possibly...but it looks too far forward to be part of the shock system. I've seen photos both with and without this.

It is the shock reservoir from aftermarket shocks. It's visible because of the OEM bumper coming off. With the ADD installed you can see into the area that is normally covered. Not every truck will have this aftermarket add on.

It's an external reservoir. Hence the hydraulic hose connecting it the the shock.

The orange dot is the cap for the nitrogen valve.
