Double Bass good string height for rockabilly slapping

i pretty much only play slap on my DB it seems like i'm putting in a lot more effort and not getting as good of a sound as other players. I'm pretty sure i just need to lower my action but i have a wooden bridge and i want to know how high to make the strings above the neck before i start grinding away. Thanks
