Those just expand the spring in one place placing stress on that area and causing the other coils to compress more causing spring bind and faster degrading of coil strength. I used a set of rubber ones on my old 72 cutlass in the front when i had some too big of tires on it, made front end a little stiffer, enough to prevent rubbing, but not good on the springs. Some people use them to lower vehicle by pinching coil together.

You often find those things for sale in the trailer section of automotive stores. I guess the idea is to give your truck's rear coil springs extra height while towing. Kind of a "band aid" solution.
