I am in (semi) rural Canada right now and no one has the bolts with a 15mm head. I don't have the old ones.

Went to a specialty place sort of like a Grainger and the guy said bolt heads in metric go from 14 to 16 and the OEM auto manufactures basically bastardized the metric system and a true 15mm is likely a dealer only item.

I don't have to have exact OEM bolts; just something that will work without stripping threads on the truck.

I bought these: M10 x 45mm 10.9 1.5pt hex bolt. 17mm head. Cant try them right now but wanted thoughts from the group.

My RCI skid plates came with M10x1.5x45 with 15mm heads and they weren’t OEM bolts. But they were the same size as the OEM’s. Seeing plenty of that exact bolt size available in the US and on Amazon

Factory is 15mm hex M10x1.5 30mm long with a washer attached to the bolt.
