I always tell my hitch installer where I want the pin/GN ball location in my trucks.
I prefer zero over the rear axle for a short bed truck. This gets the trailer as far as possible from the trucks cab.....and allows the most distance when using a sliding hitch.
On my long bed trucks for my heavy GN trailers and 5th wheel RV trailers I have the pin/ball 4" in front of the axle.
