The lower the bar, the greater the range of motion. But, the issue is also that now you have to time the extension at the knee to avoid hitting the knee. The lower the bar, the less weight you'll lift, typically.

If you can't get the form down, start above the knee and work your way down a bit each week. My rack only makes large jumps, so I stand on 45lbs plates in between major notches.
