Bilsteins 6100 Series Shocks are the most successful shock in off-road racing history. Conceived in the early 1970s, Bilsteins 6100 shocks have equipped more winning off-road trucks and cars than any other shocks. Today the 6100 shock is still meeting the demands of off-road recreational vehicles like forerunner trucks, Baja bugs, rockcrawlers and sandbuggies. The 6100s features include: Monotube gas pressure construction, Threaded Body Lengths to 10" Travel, Self-Adjusting Deflecting Disc Valving, 12" Diameter Shock Body, High-Flow Piston Reduces Harshness, Factory Rebuildable, Spherical bearing end loops that accept 1/2" and 12mm mounting bolts, Available for standard and coilover applications and this series is primarily designed for vehicles with modified shock mounts and Type I VW suspension.
These are darn good. Expensive for what you get. For the price I would expect a beefier shock. I blew one out after 80k miles. I do a lot of offroading. Not necessarily 4x4ing, but offroading. Fast moving, washboard of all kinds. Mojave Desert stuff.
Q: Is this for a single or the pair? Answer this question
A: That is for ONE shock. Pricey. Not worth imo. I am going to upgrade to a heavier spring / different setup next time around.

A: I run mine on a '03 Tacoma. So I would say if you offroading, on dirt roads a lot, no. Something heavier duty. But better than 5100.
