Icon5 Shocks for stock fx4 4x4

I want some good shocks for my stock 2003 fx4 4x4. I work at a nissan dealer and have seen the nismo spec. bilsteins break if abused off-road. I want something that will last off-road but not be too rough on road. I know bilstein, rancho and edelbrock make shocks for it. Are there any better or go with onme of those.

Thanks for the help

I've been really happy with my Rancho RSX's for the past 42,000 miles

I decided to get the Pro comp es9000 shocks. They were like $37 and buy one get one free. They ride good so far.

Well, you get what you pay for...

That's not a good sign if they already "ride good" when they're brand new. What'll happen after they break in?
