Why wouldn't you release your tie downs and use the camper jacks to lift the camper a bit off the truck bed? Then your just lifting and "empty" truck with the OEM jack. It might even be necessary to access the winch to lower your spare tire anyway. Some campers' rear overhand blocks the winch hole. Or, I've seen some people unbolt the winch and turn it 90 degrees so the winch handle can fit in thru the rear wheel well.
This is more in line with my approach, but I probably wouldn't bother releasing tie downs. Just alternate between camper and Jack as you lift. You don't need all the camper weight off the truck for the jack to get a wheel off the ground. No need to add more **** (to forget to bring) and more complication.
