Welcome to the forum. Moved to the 3rd gen Ram section. That looks like the flywheel cover is missing.

Looks to be some sort of cross-member or brace. Whatever it's called, I'd be headed to the junkyard to pick one up. Your front end should be much firmer once you replace that.

Right dodgevity, the missing frame piece is the front crossmember.
