Anyone know what this part is called? It is bolted to the frame behind the front bumper. Today I noticed it looked loose, but when I tightened it, found out the threads are stripped. My thought was to drill through the frame, add a longer bolt with a nut and washer. Just wanted to check here first before I start drilling holes.

Yeah, it does have a body lift, so that makes sense.

It is this bolt that looks to be threaded into the frame. Not sure if the frame is threaded or if there is a nutzert or something.

Might want to replace your body lift with a Black Magic Brakes kit.

Might shave 20 lbs off your Jeep getting rid of all those metal spacers.

Thanks for all your input. So long as it isn't going to fall out (looks like it is in there well, even with the stripped screw) I'm hoping it will be good for now.
