Is it proper to do a little palm muting to deaden the string? Is it a bad technique?
I've tried to extend my index finger but it is so hard to change my picking style. Any one else had this problem?

A good thing will be to apply the thumb muting technique to have the lower string muted and not make any noise. This will be very beneficial especially when doing bends and vibrato.
