Yes, the Air Lift Helper Spring Kit part # AL60818 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2012 Ram 1500 crew cab Big Horn.

For a compressor kit I would recommend the # AL25592. This is a great compressor that will maintain air pressure in your bags that comes with a gauge you can mount in the cab of your truck as well.
