Default Front lowering bolts

I am having a brain fart and for whatever reason I am searching but can not find what I am looking for.
I recently changed all the hardware in my front end including drilling out the old stock adj bolts in the leaf apring and replacing them with aftermarket.
Now I do not want super low but is there a write up about how much bolt should show on top of the leaf spring?

Thanks
Nick

The front are screwed DOWN to lower and can be screwed all the way down.

Max height is when the bolt is screwed UP (Gap) - Leave 1 full thread

So this would mean the car will be really high?

If that's the rear, then it would be high because you put longer bolts
in the rear to lower it.

If that is the front, then it is lowered...
