Bilstein 1500 Front Leveling ?

[Repsol69]

I have a 2025 Rebel X and thinking about just leveling the front with Bilstein 5100 shocks. Now can I do this and leave the rear stock? I don't want the rear to be any higher. Should I get new UCA'S also . How will it change my ride quality? I use the mainly on roads for trips no off road other than mild dirt roads...

Yes you can just change the fronts. From front to back they will not be valved the same but it isn't likely you'll notice. Then when the rears wear out swap them for Bilstein's. The rear shocks play no part in lift so no issue with the rear height. If you can get a decent alignment you do not need uca's. However, the labor cost to install uca's later will be several hundred dollars more than doing them at the shock install.

Exactly. Im assuming you have the 4600's. They are similar to the 5100's. When they where out just replace with 5100's. You are gtg.
