Take my advice, you will want to skip the come-along thought. My advice stems from using a 2 ton come-along on jeep xj cherokee(barely worked and took huge amount of time to move a very short distance). And one other time using 2ea. 2 ton come-alongs getting a toyota corolla out of a dirch full of snow.
Both of those times, was very time consuming and a bunch of work. I would never even think of getting the gmc unstuck
With one.
Gmc is 12,000 pound or about 6 tons. Stuck, I would wonder how much pull is needed.
Other then not getting stuck, invest big bucks on an electric winch. 9000-12000 pounds i would guess minimum. But a winch is only good if it works, has good battery power and cables, and something to attach to. Not often do those things all come together. I have done my share of off roading and have seen many winches that look nice, just not work when you want to count on them.
Dropping air pressure in tires has helped my gmc get unstuck.
Otherwise get some good mounting points and a good 3" 30000 snatch strap and keep a good 4wd truck nearby. And wood planks for under the tires to drive on.
Good luck and post pictures!
