I find that some of the winch mounts are not strong enough for the strongest winches. Suggestions for sufficiently strong mounts would make a good new thread. I think you need at least a 15K+ winch for a DRW truck with TC and some times may even need to double line the winch to get enough pull if stuck in a hole or mud. The next question is whether you can find an anchor point that is strong enough - I prefer to not venture off logging roads without a similar sized rig with me.
I have 25k chains, a receiver mounted 12K winch with two pulleys to redirect pull and a dedicated battery box (until I wire up Anderson connectors). Although I have tested this "insurance", I have not needed to use it to recover myself. Typically I do not pack this equipment unless I know I am boon docking in an unfamilar area.
