ls2 rods/pistons in lq4

I have a 02 lq4 I bought several years ago with about 50k miles. Disassembled it years ago and boxed everything up - had big plans to bore/stroke with forged pistons/rods heads, the whole works but it never happened.
Now just thinking of re-assembling with new bearings/rings and running as is - it's for a gbody swap.
My question is, could I swap in ls2 pistons and rods (for more compression) and not have to rebalance? trying to avoid machine work. would be stock press pin lq4 piston/rod for stock floating pin ls2 piston/rod. What do you think?
