Expert Reply:
The universal installation kit # RP30035-309, fits so many applications because the brackets are not uniquely shaped to fit different vehicles. Because of this, you have to follow the supplemental instructions for the kit, linked for you, when installing it on a 2012 Toyota Tundra. If installed correctly, there should not be any interference issues.
Another option which will be much easier to install, require less drilling, and less time, is a custom installation kit. The available custom 5th wheel installation kit for your truck is # C16468-204. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. The brackets in this kit are a custom fit to the frame rails on your truck.
