I just installed 4.56 gears and ARB locker into my 01. Yes 29 spline is available. Although ARB might not be what you're looking for.

The ring and pinions are the same for the 27 or 29 spline version. I am considering swapping to 4.56 gears also and this website has the best deal I have found so far. http://rwkhaussupply.com/lift-gear-p...r-package.html
