So why buy a key at all? Could I just f_ with the bolt until I get it level?

I don't think you can get more that 1" of adjustment with the stock keys. I could be wrong.

Get the Ford Keys...I cranked my stock keys as far as I could and only got about 3/8ths of a lift (not really noticeable)...I am installing the Ford keys tomorrow in hopes to level her out and make a little room for some new shoes (305/50/20)...
