It is not always bad, but you're running a risk by doing it. With the added weight from the trailer it will put stress on the axle shafts and carrier. If you're negotiating a turn and the locker fails to unlock, your chances of snapping an axle shaft or breaking the carrier are doubled. This doesn't mean you will break something, just means your risk is greatly increased. Thats why is pays to have a selectable locker, so you KNOW it will be unlocked while negotiating a turn.

They will be higher than they are now but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Higher rpm's doesn't always mean lower gas mileage. Check out the tech section on 'therangerstation.com' they have alot of the gear ratio converters and charts on the appropriate power band for various set ups including running 32's and wanting to tow.
