Default Snap Ring Position For Bilstein 5100’s

i am installing Bilstein 5100’s on my GX and it has several positions to put the snap ring which determines spring position and thus ride height.
if everything else is OEM (spring, etc.) then which notch do I put the ring to have a stock ride height?

If you want to level it, you might want to put the front on the middle setting. Just don't put it in the top position, they are supposed to ride like junk with full preload.
