Default Air Bag Installation

I just got my Air Lift air bag and it doesn't come with any instructions. I've got a couple of questions:

1) Should the air valve stem end be up or down (guessing up)?
2) Where in the spring should the bag be located (bottom, middle, top)?
3) Does the seperate large plastic disk just sit on the valve stem end of the bag?

Thanks, Ken
