Did I miss a step, have I made a mistake in not having the balance tabs machined off the 4.0L Connecting Rods and then having my Crankshaft and rods spin balanced?

Engine Balance Question - Please help.
I need to ask for clarification before my engine leaves the machine shop and is installed into my Jeep. There is a lot of information to gather from this site and others to build a STROKER and I am concerned that I have missed some detail.

I have a 4.6L STOKER in my 2000 Jeep Wrangler with 4.5" lift on 35" BFG MT and 4.56:1 gears.

Re: Engine Balance Question - Please help.
The rods and pistons should be just weight matched. Not spun. Don't worry about machining off the balance pads. You wouldn't have noticed anything if you did. Also, you should have the crank spun balanced.
