Default Mystery Bolt

I have a 2008 F-350 King Ranch and Yesterday I found a large bolt laying on the ground on the side of my driveway (pic below) that looks like it could be from my rig. From a quick look at my suspension/frame I don't see any missing fasteners. Does anyone have an idea if and where this bolt could originate from? I think its too mush to hope it came off a fedex or ups truck...

I'm letting my truck sit for the moment until I can get some resolution on this.

Thanks,

What size is the bolt head?
Ford does use those bolts, most of the time its for suspension.
Due to the point they are usually used when screwing into a welded nut when you cannot see the nut, the tapper helps to center/guide it in to lessen chance of cross threading.
