Body lift ground wire bracket

Guys with a body lift, could you post a picture of the bracket used to connect the ground wire that connects to the frame near the front passenger wheel well. When poking around I noticed mine has come off leaving the wires free

Just wanna get an idea of what it looks like so I can fab something up similar to get it fixed

I have a body lift on my truck, and I also had troubles with this ground location. While I didn't lose the bracket, it was giving me an intermittent ground, causing the computer to not "sleep", and draining my battery down. I would suggest a new, longer ground strap, mounted directly, instead of the bracket. I found mine at Summit, but I'm sure an auto parts store near you could help you out. I replaced all the factory ones, and added an extra engine/chassis ground, and have had no issues since.
