If your 2012 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 dually has a 6 foot 4 inch bed, then the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16420-204, will work on your truck, see instructions. This kit works with the Mega Cab trucks and on trucks that have overload springs.

I spoke with my contact at Curt Mfg. and if your truck has a 64 inch bed they do not recommend using any of their fifth-wheel installation kits in the 2012 Dodge trucks with beds shorter than 6 feet.

I checked with our other suppliers for fifth-wheel hitches and they do not have an option for a 5 foot 4 inch bed 2012 Dodge either.
