I assume they are lift keys. No it's not bad, if you're just trying to level it then keys are all you need, as for the shocks, you don't NEED them but it won't ride nearly as good, at least get some shock extenders. You can get a set off amazon or eBay for about 30 bucks.

It rides fine but I'm wondering if a leveling kit would have lifted it more than just new keys and if it's worth it to buy a leveling kit

ALL a leveling kit is IS new keys for the front, and coil spring spacers in the back! That's it!
Some "kits" add shock extenders for the rear, and most don't even bother with the front shocks.
You can easily get some Z71 coils from rockauto.com for about $50, get your own coil spacers (got mine off E-bay, about $28), and keys (again, E-bay, $32), along with rear shock extenders (E-bay, $19). Also bought the correct Torsion bar tool (E-bay, $30).
I also ordered new shocks while I was at it, I went with KYB's, a little over $100 for all four. Bilstein 5100's will set you back about $300.
