Does a locked diff make it more easy to do wheelies?

I wouldn't lock the dif. The only reason the dif would come into play affecting wheelies is if one wheel loses traction and the dif gives out. You just need the grunt to get it standing up.
Locking the dif will make it turn less..... the outside wheel in a turn has to turn more revolutions than the inside wheel. If the dif is locked, then the only way that will happen is for the inside wheel to slide causing it to break loose.
It will also be harder on the driveline like dogbones and outdrives. difs are an important part of the drivetrain. Locked difs are for rock crawlers.
You can also try stiffening the back suspension with spacers when you want it to wheelie, get a clutch that engages later, or add a pipe and/or a headkit for more power. even moving stuff back for power transfer like the batteries, or lighter tires on front etc will help

I would use a 120,000 diff lock oil. Worked well in the 3-4 FG's I've had.
The tires are the weak point here. If the tires are warm they will grip better. The more the motor has been run also will effect the response to a wheelie. Most all pipes will get you a wheelie. The M/L DOM will give you from the start and middle throttle wheelies. You will see some footage of it here: https://www.largescaleforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=420
Also reversing the rear tires will help bite more on every surface. Make sure if you are looking for better rear traction you use the (M) tires in the rear. If your looking for better turning use the (M) tires in the front.

change the clutch spring (if your running stock) to an 8K and watch the front come up! best pipe to do wheelies would prolly be the DDM but I ran a jetpro and had no probs getting the front up.
tires can make a big difference too, a set of the nutech tb2 wheels would help with rear end traction and steering as well.
