LQ4 to LQ9 rod and piston swap

Any body ever put LQ9 rods and pistons in thier LQ4 without rebalancing the crank.I have some LQ9'S the rods look beefier and the pistons have floating pins.Do you think I can get away with this for a while mostly street driving?

There is no difference in the cranks. I have built several LQ9 rod and pistons motors with cranks that came from LQ4's. They have run fine so far.
