I see no reason why you can't make the bunk stick out 6' and cantalever over the cab. Yes, it would need to be engineered correctly with diagonal bracing but relatively speaking the taller you make it the stronger it gets. Something like 2" square steel tubing with 1/8" thick walls is massively strong if triangulated correctly.
