Connecting rod ? Can the stock rods be used with full floating wrist pin pistons without being bushed? I got a set of floating 4.8 pistons for the 5.3 and wondering if the rods need work or if the wrist pins are the same size and will work.

I believe the 4.8 pistons are off one of the newer 4.8 like 08 09 10 and I have a 2005 5.3 going by what the junkyard had it tagged. The 4.8 pistons are definitely floating just not sure if the rods in my '05 5.3 are or not. I believe they changed to floating wrist pins in the '05 and up 5.3 just trying to get some clarification.
