When y'all do rack deads, where do you set the bar? About knee height?

I usually set mine right below the knee, as my particular rack has it set that way. Every piece of equipment may differ by an inch or so. Sometimes I'll set it to shin level, ankle level, etc.
Where ever I am losing the lift. Usually its below the knee, occasionally right at the knee.

I like to go below the knee as well. Still gave me the depth I wanted without using the legs. I've tried it at the knee before and I just didnt seem to get any back involvement.

Either put the bar where you loose the lift or get stuck when pulling from the floor to hammer away at a weak spot. Try varying depths, the lower the bar placement the harder the pull, which means more strength.
I tend to put it roughly 4" below my knee
