overhange
My rear bodywork extends 7' behind the center of the rear axle and the hitch ball is 9" behind the bodywork for a total of 7' 9". You need to think about axle weights when you are towing and not towing. My truck with the front drive axle removed has just over 8K on the front axle and 6K on the rear. With a 12K front axle if you move the rear axle rearward you will increse the front axle load. I have located heavy items (50 gal LPG tank, 85 gal holding tank and the generator) behind the rear axle to help with the weight balance. My trailer is much lighter than a stacker. Mine is 20' and is 3500# empty and around 7K when I go racing. Do you have a commercial drivers lic? I think in Calif. you can tow a travel trailer up to 15K with a class 3 but not a race trailer over 10K.
