Identify this bolt? Bumper / frame / bracket

[EricStanley]

The (somewhat rusty) bolt in these pictures is on the inside of the frame rail behind the front bumper on the driver side. I need to replace this bolt. Can anyone identify a part number? I looked through parts diagrams online and couldn’t find it.
It appears to hold a bracket that is also bolted to the bumper (steel Mopar bumper).
Thanks in advance…

M10 x 1.5 thread, pick the length you need to go through the plates, etc. About 30 mm should do it. Stock is grade 10.9, captive washer. Yu could use a flange head or add a washer.

I know you asked for the bolt size and although I don't have that info. I apologize. But FYI.... That bracket is the bumper support. You really don't need it. If you ever decide to get an aftermarket bumper, it will most likely cause alignment issues. I did a video on my YT channel some years ago about it because people couldn't get their aftermarket bumpers to align.

I think I tossed mine about 4yrs and 160,000 miles ago.

Just wanted to throw that tidbit of info out there.

Good heads up. The issue here is that the Maximus3 stinger uses a bracket that uses that bolt. The previous owner installed it. And use the wrong size bolt there. After tearing into I see why. Getting the 3 pieces of steel to align correctly is a giant PITA and maybe not possible. For now, I’ve removed the stinger altogether anyway. So it’s good to know that the bolt isn’t really necessary right now.

Yes. It's an issue with a lot of aftermarket bumpers.
