If my Pistons & rds are all the same weight do I have to balance the crank? If I used a stock crank that is balanced, for stock pistons and rods, would i need to have the crank re-balanced for new pistons and rods if the pistons and rods all weigh within 1.5 grams of each other?

A balance job is not how close each piston/rod combo weighs, but rather you need to have the crankshaft counter weight balanced to the piston/rod combo weight. That is what a balance job is. Your new pistons/rods probably do not weigh the same as stocker, so the counter weight of the crankshaft is going to be different.
