Are the front arms sitting on the bump stops? If so then you can't go any higher even with new keys. I cranked mine until they were just barely touching the bump stops.

That's odd I can crank my stock keys to where the arms are touching the bump stops and still have some leftover.

Sounds like the bars may just be wore out and lost some spring rate. I'd say crank in what you can...
