If you want to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13182 on your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you will use M14 bolts that are grade 5 as well as compatible flat washers. That is the replacement for what is missing from your vehicle. If you want stronger bolts you can use grade 8 as some like to do but almost all hitch hardware is grade 5. The factory bolts use a 21mm socket. The length of the bolt is not mentioned so you will need to use your best judgment.

I've attached a video to assist as well as the installation instructions.

I do have an option for you but you cannot use multiple hitch adapters together like the dual hitch adapter part #D-192 and the hitch extender part #C45791 for example. This would create too weak of a connection point and would limit your towing…

In my opinion you are going in the right direction with a frame mounted receiver. The only advantage to a weld on application is that, if welded properly, the attachment point, weld, will be stronger than the hitch or trailer frame steel and one of…
