Default Any factory 8.8 rear lockers that fit in our trucks?

Is there anything I could find at a junk yard that would work in my rear end? I'm going to be swapping out the 3.55's for 4.88s so is there any factory lockers that fit in our rear ends, that I could find when I swap my gears?

What axle do you have? Also as far as I know the ls was the only factory traction device available up until...the raptor...??

LS was the only thing until the raptor. What is your current diff setup? You stated 3.55, but 3.55 with a open diff or ls? I upgraded my open diff to a lock right locker. Cost about $330 and took me about an hour to install. A similar lunchbox (uses the existing carrier just swaps spiders with drivers) is the Aussie setup which cost $305 if I remember correctly. Otherwise you'd be looking at a Detroit or Yukon carrier replacement which is about $480.

I love my locker, my next truck will have an automatic locker in it. Never going to buy another vehicle with ls, only lockers.

Easiest option for you is a detroit or yukon locker. Makes the most sense since your regearing the truck anyway. Little more expensive, but the Powertrax LS to locker lock right locker is hard to find.

That part number is only for open rear diffs. There isn't a lock right model for LS setups, but I believe there is a Powertrax model (Powertrax is the more refined version of the Lock Right, engages smoother, and is still made by Richmond gear).
Here is that part number but that is a $460 part if I remember correctly:
