MEASURE the hole in the bushing and the length needed to get though the bar, bracket and a bolt. Get that size bot in a Grade 8 or 10. You could take the bar to Lowes or parts store and find the size bolt that fits through the bushing the snuggest.
As for the popping, it very likely was the tracklbar telling you the bolt was loose and about to break.

i am leaning toward that popping noise being from the track bar, but i think i might have gotten lucky i got some track bar bolts from some jeeps that we had in the shop that got new lifts put on. i will try them tonight, they look pretty close to the same size but i will find out later this evening

on further inspection lastnight i found that the nut on the bracket is welded and the bracket looks 100% factory i am lost to what size it is bc i tried 10mm and its a lil small it has play in the hole and a 12mm is just a hair to big for the hole
