The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram Truck - Carbide Finish # C16427-204 is not a fit for your truck it only fits 2014-present models. For your 2012 Ram 3500 dually long bed the similar system that is a confirmed fit is # C16420-204. This is a custom fit and I've attached a couple videos to assist.
If you don't yet have a hitch, I recommend the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs # C16180. This hitch is an easy to use option with significant capacity and interlocking jaws for a secure king pin fit. It has a simple one pin head removal to make installation easy and built in grease zerk fittings for easy maintenance. It also has a 3-point indicator system to ensure you are either coupled or uncoupled that is visible from the cab.
