There will be no drilling required to install the TorkLift SuperHitch # TLD1102 on your 2012 Dodge Ram 3500, and you will not have to remove your bumper or the factory hitch; the SuperHitch installs under your OEM hitch. Keep in mind the TorkLift will only work with your Ram 3500 if your factory hitch came welded on.

The TorkLift SuperHitch # TLD1102 is Class V rated, with a maximum towing capacity of 17,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight capacity of 1,700 lbs. I've added a link to a video review of this hitch for you to take a look at as well.

The AL-KO trailer hub part number 8700 that you have is a 3,500 lb trailer hub/drum with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Based on that the #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is the correct fit and would work great.

I've never heard of an actual third brake light connector on a camper shell to plug in on a truck and we don't carry any parts to do that. The light generally needs to be hardwired into the truck's brake light circuit. The issue with this…

Brake systems are not dependent on the hub bolt pattern. So you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA for 12 inch hub/drums or #AKEBRK-35-SA for 10 inch hub/drums. Then use #10-1-1 wire sold by the foot for your brake magnet wiring.…
