hey NH Raptor, sorry to hear about your daughter.
as far as the Raptor goes, I sold my 35s for 1000$ on rims, just wanted them gone. You can always price them low to ditch them or like others have said, sell the tires and keep the rims so you dont have to buy new rims. Don't keep them as back ups if you plan on running 37s, you're just asking for trouble. best to order an extra 37 for back up. I bought 2 extras as I work in Northern Alberta Canada where trouble can find me fast lol. I have them strapped down with the SDHQ spare tire strap.
I will also agree with everyone else that you shouldn't lift your Raptor, but it's your truck at the end of the day. I just know that my good old 1st gen Raptor dealt with nearly knee deep snow in some spots with no issues (ive put 100k miles on 2 sets of K02s and aired down in the winter they're awesome!). my last truck last a 13 Ecoboost F150 leveled on 35 K02s and I have way more ground clearance in the Raptor on 37s. you don't need to lift raptors 4+ inches to fit bigger tires. a camburg or Icon spacer will give you all the space you need.
good luck with whatever you decide to do, I'm sure your family will love it.
