It may be used for other things but that is a stabilizer bolt. One end gets bolted to the frame , the other end holds the shock with the black sleeve on it, thru the eye of the shock.

1 bolt holds the shock to the bracket and the bracket is bolted or welded to the frame...

I've had mine on for 32 years, except to have put a new shock in. Had another on a van for 10 years. 32 on my present 90 G20

I read through this and have a slightly different plan of attack for my Express. My stabilizer is going to be a 1.5" bore hydraulic ram assist cylinder that is ported into the OEM saginaw box. Will physically take wear and tear off the steering box and the fluid in the ram will work as a stabilizer. Almost the same install as the stabilizer just have to add 2 x -6 AN lines to the tapped steering gear box.
