Go to an actual lumber yard and you can get 2"x12"x20' footers. But you may meet two trusses. Because 5' cantilever is a no no. 3' cantilever is a max. But you should be okay with one truss if you space the joist 12" on center. Just be sure to use a henger where the joist meet trusses. Glad to help
