I read that you can get about an inch out of the stock keys. my 03 has a 2 inch rake stock so I bought the 2inch torsion keys to level it out. Even with the aftermarket keys there seemed to be a ton of pressure against them while cranking them up. its also recommended to get an alignment done after. so you might want to consider going with the new keys instead of cranking the stock ones to the max

You can get 2+ inches of adjustment out of the stock keys. I wouldn't go more than 2" to play it safe. Two inches will put the truck pretty much level.
Shocks won't raise the front end, they are there to dampen the rebound and compression of the suspension.
