Putting in a gooseneck hitch in a friends truck.
When I installed mine I just did it as the instructions said, but I have heard people say to put it like 1 inch forward of center for better handling?
Any truth to that?
any other little things like that?

Depends on what the truck is, and what hitch it is.

6" forward of the center of the rear axle.depending on the hitch manufactuar.b&w sells a good hitch that is recomended at this setting.
