Quick question, without going into the technicalities of inner outer splines as I'm familiar with the principle, as a starting point where would you position the spring plate in relation to the tab at the base of the springplate housing (either clearance or overlap) to get acheive a drop just enough for the arch to obscure the top of a 15" wheel with the adjuster in the mid point position?

The torsion bars were stripped out of the van when we had chassis work completed so I don't have any original reference points, I just want to save myself the hastle of trial and error to get it in the right ballpark by referencing off the body initially then once I'm happy I'll go back and match 'to the degree' side to side.
