Was there a question in there someplace?
>From your description, it would seem that the corrosion is already quite
extensive and you are worried about dissimilar metals? if you really
want to avoid a bodge job, buy new or solid replacement parts and you
won't have to cobble it up as bad as it was before you started.
Galvanized steel fasteners are acceptable in this application as well as
zinc chromate, stainless steel.
As to corrosion prevention:
Always park in a garage
move to the sunshine belt
powerwash the underside after every mud run
