There are plenty of us towing heavy trailers behind our truck campers. You need a dual receiver SuperHitch with a dual truss extension SuperTruss. These Torklift products allow you to tow a 10,000 lb trailer on an extension up to 4' long.
Your biggest concern will be to not overload the rear tires and rims past their capacity. The rear axle has plenty of reserve capacity, but is limited by the 7000-7500 lb wheel capacity. I went with 19.5" commercial tires to allow me to carry a 4000 lb truck camper while towing an 8000 lb enclosed trailer with my short bed F250.
Yes that is what you will need.
Check the truck empty weight, and hopefully you will be able to not need to upgrade to 19.5" rims.
My guess is the 9.3 is 9 feet 4" body length behind the cab, so yes it will stick out about 3' beyond the bumper.
There are many dually trucks using the Super Hitch, and carry a 4,000+ pound camper that is 12' long and overhanging by more than 4'. But that would be the limit. And any dually will have the ability to carry almost 5,500 pounds on the rear axle, beyond the empty weight.
I think the rear tires are going to limit you. Make sure you check the weight before taking off once you have the truck and trailer hooked up.
Good luck,
Fred.
