No vehicle will keep from getting stuck if it just hangs up. As far as falling into ruts (which i know all about) goes only way to fix that is more ground clearance which means lift and bigger tires. If you dont plan on bigger tires and use your truck like this a lot a locker front and back might be a good option for you.

Another good source would be Jeep and off-road specific forums, but the problem there is if it's not local, shipping is stupid high on a 70-100 lb. winch...

Well that's true to a certain degree, as long as you keep moving and do not hesitate your chances of getting stuck are low

Yep.

First rule of off-roading. DON'T stop. If you think you are going to get stuck, and stop, you just got stuck.

Second Rule, put it in 4x4 range you think you are going need BEFORE you actually need it.
