More than likely the top. Get the truck down where you want it then set the bag on the lower bracket and compress it all the way. Set your upper bracket on top of the compressed bag and make your mark on the notch. Nice looking truck in your avatar

If you have to compress your bag on your own you can smash it "compress" in a vise then put a plug in the air inlet. That always works for me. If you dont understand let me know I know that I can be confusing when explaining sometimes.
Also make sure you counter in if you would ever want to get a bigger set of wheels or not. Therefore you would need more space between the 2 brackets Hope this helps

O.k. Another ? at what angle do the triangulated bars have to be at?

i dont think there is a set angle.. i think it should just be to where it doesnt bind..
i have a 2 link so i dont know but i would like to..?..

there is a minimum angle they need to be at(cant remember), i would get as much as possible, without binding.
