My rig is bone stock right now and i have icon 2.0 rears, bilstein fronts and fj coils all around waiting to be put on. Then some Uniball UCA's are in the future. Question is: Do i need E load tires? I'm looking at the General Grabber AT2 in 275/65/18s. Any thoughts on that combo and thoughts on that tire in general. I don't do too much wheeling because i don't have any lift but it wouldnt be a ton of wheeling anyway. Just want a beefy looking tire that rides nice and can hit the trails if needed. Thanks for any input

Based on these two reasons: 1.) "I don't do too much wheeling" and 2.) "Just want a beefy looking tire that rides nice", I think your tire selection is appropriate for your needs. A load E tire would probably be overkill based on your described use and you would be spending more money per tire to boot.
I have had a couple sets of General Grabber AT2's. Both P rated tires. The first set was on my 1998 4Runner. They lasted over 65k miles and performed great in light/moderate off-roading. The second set came on my 2006 4Runner. They worked just as well as the first set, though I recently swapped them out for some LT load C tires. (I just wanted a change.)
The Generals are good tires, especially for the price.

An E Rated tire is a very stiff heavy tire. You will loose gas mileage like crazy, but will gain durability, especially when you hit things like rocks or curbs.. My DD and semi-wheeler has 285/70R17 BFG TA KO LRE tires on it and I love them.. I also get 14 miles a gallon.. I've nailed a curb-median at 20 mph and it felt like my truck was going to explode into pieces, but the tires held up fine.. The BFG's also have a bead lock built into them (super awesome).
