Snow plows that attach to the vehicle by a front hitch like the SnowBear Proshovel # SB324-172 need to have the hitch opening lower than the hitches that fit through the front bumper of your 2012 Ram 2500 like the Draw Tite # 65063 that you mentioned. You'd instead want a lower hanging front hitch with the # 65057.
