I'm new to expo style vehicles and I see these wires/cables (typically on Land Rovers and Land Cruisers with racks) and I can't think of what they would be used for? Just a new guy with a question. Go easy on me.

"Branch lifters"

Though the first time I saw that I thought it was to keep the basket from sliding back or lifting from all the wind drag ;)

That's exactly what I was thinking but I figured I was wrong. That's why I decided to get myself straightened out.

I've heard them called "limb risers". Don't know if they are called differently from region to region. Anyone have insight on varying 'dialects'?
