the tire being mounted underneath sucks also because you cant fit anything much higher than 265/75. you can fit a 285, but you have to air it down. rear mounted tire carrier fits anything you want

well it actually doesnt ever disengage, unless you unplug something in the engine bay.. ill get the pic and post it up. this plug will turn ABS, VSC and TRAC off. i, with my engine running, unplug it. wheel like hell. then when im done wheeling, i shut the truck off, plug it back in, restart the truck and its all back to normal
when you lock the center diff, the vsc function is disengaged, but TRAC remains on and continues to limit wheelspin via the ABS.
thus vsc and trac SUCK offroad as they try hard to make you not spin. how? by cutting all your power when it senses wheelspin, which is a terrible move if youre trying to power through mud or snow.
as for lockers, i know conceptually how a locker works, but my words wont be clear enough. so here's a quote i found: "If you ever noticed anyone stuck, you'll see that only one wheel is spinning, the wheel with the least amount to traction. The locker just locks the rear wheels so they both spin at the same rate, that means even though one wheel may have lost traction, the other wheel helps keep the vehicle moving. "
heres the pic of the plug that disengages vsc:
