I was able to verify with B&W that the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit part # BWGNRK1308 does fit the 2012 Ram 2500 diesel mega cab model. So the 1308 is what you need. I have attached an installation video for your reference. The 1313 hitch you referenced does not fit the mega cab.
