red i currently work at a major truck equipment company as a sales rep for all sorts of equipment i don't claim to be a expert but here goes. there's no majic number for ball placment we usually set them at two to three inches ahead of the rear axle depending on the front gvwr of the particular axle. centered is not an answer.i suggest that you take a look at the front gwvr and what you'll be hauling and the weight distribution on your trailer to make the decision on the ammount just don't go to far forward and overload the front axle and remember to measure your trailer so that when hooked up your truck bed doesn't contact the trailer
