Need Trail Grapplers and new shocks

Im looking to change out the mud grapplers to something a bit less aggresive so Im thinking about the trail grappler. I only really drive on the road and the beach so dont need a true mud tire. The issue is i want a 37 or 38 on my 18 inch wheels. Has anybody saw this size yet for the trail grappler for 18s.

The other question i have is about shocks, four wheel parts is running a deal for four shocks for a decent price. If i purchase those that covers front and rear correct? Im pretty sure it does but wanted to double check on here since ive never been lead astray. Ill post the link below to the special.

Thanks guys/gals

they only make the trail grappler in a 35 or smaller for 18's. you could try some toyo m/t's, they have a very similar tread design and come in both 37's and 38's for 18in. wheels.

According to their website, the largest size they offer in an 18, is a 35" tire. The 37's are only offered in a 22 or 24" wheel cutout.

And I drive an old body style, but 4 shocks should cover you for the front and rear.

Wow man, looks like i found my trucks twin brother, I looked at your pictures and thought it was my truck minus the bushwackers and the 38's....I dont have the body lift but i have a totall of about 8 inches of lift and im gonna squeeze 38's under there. If i have to trim thats no big deal, its worth it to me, If im gonna spend the money on tires im not gonna stay the same or go smaller, always gotta go bigger.

Im also gonna go ahead and get some new shocks, I just want to be ready for beach season and all the driving that goes with coming from hampton roads to OBX, I already replaced the ball joints with moog a couple months ago so might as well finish it off with some new balanced tires and new shocks....might go ahead and run straights while im at it since my exhaust has some kind of crazy drone and my two tail pipes have been patched due to the hangers rusting and breaking off.

I have a crazy itch to trade my truck in and get a deisel but i dont need the towing or the power and i think the 04-08 F-150 is the best looking truck out there so im gonna take this till it craps out and then go for the diesel.

Thanks everybody for your help
