Assassin bars

Is the lower shock mount on the front side of the shock plate? Also, how long is the threaded stud on those heims? The rear one looks like it's backed off quite a way. Maybe once it's got weight on the springs, it'll be threaded up a little more?
I believe it's 2 inches long, I just quickly put them together, there are mounts on the front & back, plus a tie down.
