OP, since you will not state your pin weight let's ASSUME it's 2000 lbs. Your truck has a wheelbase of 169" so if we divide 2" by 169 we get 0.0118 times 2000 lbs gives us 23 lbs difference in the amount of weight put on the front axle or taken off if you go 2" in front or behind the rear axle. Do you really think 23 lbs +/- on the front axle is going to make any difference in the handling of your 8,000+ lb loaded truck??? That's a 0.5% difference...half a percent.
*PS: I have gone 2-4" behind on three different PUs and I'm still here and they were never hurt with a lot more than 2,000 lbs of pin weight. My current F350 CC long bed has the center 4" behind.
