I'm going to state the obvious and say they are meant to keep the coil from popping out during flex. I have a 93 4runner and it doesn't have those

They're limit straps. They make sure that the axle only droops so far under articulation. Without them you could possibly run into rubbing issues, or other suspension components binding up.

This. They're the reverse of bumpstops.
Thanks guys, should I leave them on all the time? Or take them off and just put em on before wheeling?

I've see some Ford/Chevy with chain instead near my office. Looks like they're meant to be there. Just leave them on. If you take them off, you'd misplace them and not find them when it's time to go wheeling

They are limit straps. They limit the droop to keep the coil from falling out and/or so the shock isn't the limiter. Using the shock to limit droop can cause the shock to fail.
They are usually found on desert race trucks. These truck see lots of air time. When jumping a vehicle, the axle will droop/fall fast which can literally yank the shocks off the rig.
Usually they are not needed on a rig that unloads the shocks slowly, like a rock crawler.
If you need the straps, they stay on all the time, on and off road.
