There isn't a specific dBFS level as to where your kick (or 808 bass drum) should peak but you can follow an arbitrary starting point of either between -3 dBFS, -6 dBFS, -9 dBFS, or -12 dBFS if you want. I would highly recommend you start at -12 dBFS because if you build your mix around the kick...
