One of the best tricks I've ever seen to get out of mud - it would be difficult - but not impossible - to do with small diameter wheels. If your tires stick way out beyond the body, it just might work for an SUV: I don't need no stinkin' winchFrank

It should work just fine, but I wouldn't make the pole much longer than the OD of the tire, or the resulting off-camber will cause the pole to bang the body as you pole-vault and bounce.

We used to chain a 12" tree trunk to the back tires on a 4wd case rubber tire backhoe when we had to get a trench across a swamp. It acted like a paddle wheel in the muck. We cut them at wheel diameter length, but the pole vault idea would work nice for getting back up the bank.
Not responsible for advice not taken...
