Exhaust jacks are pretty big to store and space is tight on a truck camper rig.
What I have found with winching is often there isn't a suitable anchor point conveniently located near where you get stuck. We have a Milemarker hydraulic winch and use one of these I've used a few times with one of our Land Cruiser 60's: Pull pal. Our Cruiser only weighs 5000 - 5500 lbs loaded for bush campng we keep it as light as possible. The website shows bigger vehicles using it.
As long as your engine will run the hydraulic winch is continous duty.
The other great item to have with heavy rigs is a portable winch you plug in to receivers at whichever end of the rig you need it... but again on a TC rig where do you store it? And a big one is heavy to carry in knee deep mud...
anyway I've done enough high jacking and winching on a great travel story thread...
