Weighted pull-ups, done correctly, are the king of all back exercises. The most important thing about a pull-up though is your form. Don't use a swining motion and try to keep your legs crossed, behind you. keep your arms rought shoulder length apart and do the exercise in a smooth, fluid motion.
For a great lower back exercise I'd suggest deadlifts, but make sure you research them properly as performing them with bad form WILL seriously injure your lower back.
