Would you even need the lower bracket? I don't have a truck to look at, but I was thinking you'd just loop the chain under the axle. Might save a little work and no modifications to the axle.
Uh, isn't that exactly what I said? One spare and multiple extra tubes. First flat, put on the spare b/c it's quick and easy. Additional flats, break 'em down and repair/replace the tubes.
I don't know a darn thing about chaining up axles, so I can't really speak to the original question...
I think you'd have to do some pretty serious damage to an NDCC to make it unusable off-road. Why not just carry one full spare (for the easy swap) and several tubes and proper tools if things get worse.
As pointed out earlier, if you're ruining multiple tires, something else is probably wrong.
