lowering reference point..sorta

For those of you who have done the 'ol "one inner spline drop" or roughly 3", can you remember if the spring arm sits above or below the stop-lip on the shock arm member?

I'm without a vernier protractor at the moment and I don't want to have to take everything apart and redo it all if it's not low/too low/wonky...

Cheers all ye low riders!

just a feeling, but below-just,

its been a while, but i'm thinking i was able to "load" the bottom of the spring plate onto the stop by hand.

just had a look, and rember the bottom of the spring plate laying accross the hole for the lower bolt on the retaining cover, used that to line up both sides
