Hi lift jack if of no use unless you are buying a chainkit to use it as a winch or if you have good solid barwork to jack your truck up from. Not meaning to be negative, but just look at how or where you can use it on your vehicle? I can guarantee there are more useful items at the beginning than a hi lift.

The priority if you haven't already NEEDS to be tow hooks, rated ones front and rear, not the puny factory ones under the bumper, they break, and please never tow or snatch with a strap on the towball, ever.

Grubber, spade, crowbar, pruning saw, axe, Good torches. A chain or two with snig hooks, not for towing or winching, but good for dragging logs, tie backs for winching setups. etc.Tirfor.
For your winch, ground anchor, tree trunk protector, winch extensions straps, RATED shackles 3.25T or higher
Start with basics, lern to drive, learn how to get unstuck and as your confidence and experience grows you will learn what you will need in the way of 4wd recovery gear. It all depends on how hard you go, what terrain you drive, who you have with you in the way of other 4wds etc.
