They are kind of leaky, and not really designed for off-road use, but they can be made to work. Dutchman and Moser both make kits.

I assume I won't be working on these axles this weekewnd, then?

I have been looking into this for mine, I wanted to spool mine but a cheep spool is around $200 & c-clip eleminators around $200 thats = $400 give or take. So I am going with a detroit for a littel over $500

I wouldnt run it in an 8.8 as the stock carrier is the weak point next to the tubes spinning. Get a full carrier locker like a Detroit, ARB, or spool it.

I got mine because the carrier went bad. the guy just replaced the whole axle. the rest of the axle is fine, but that limits the lockers I can use. but that is fine with me.
