im pretty sure the big part of the wedge goes in the front, to to angle your pinion downward a little, because it seems to me that the pinion would pointed a lil higher from stock and when you lower it you would want to rotate it down to stay from being such a harsh angle.

as seen in 5th and 6th pic down, you can tell its the front of the truck by the way the lines run. and the way the frame is.

Placement of the shims depends on the orientation of the axle and which way the pinion needs to be pointed. Usually after lowering the pinion needs to be rotated down. If your leaf springs sit ontop of your axle then the fat part of the wedge needs to be toward the front of the vehicle. If your axle sits ontop of the springs (axle flip) then the fat part of the "wedge" needs to be towards the rear of the vehicle to point the pinion down.
