I have another option for you but the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1314 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit the 2013-2018 Ram 3500 and will not fit your 2012 Ram 3500.

Instead you will need the # BWGNRK1308 if your Ram has a gasoline engine or # BWGNRK1313 if it has the diesel engine.

The B&W Turnoverball is the best gooseneck hitch currently on the market due to allowing you to store the ball upside down in the hitch so you have undisrupted bed access while keeping the ball secure, but also since it can also be used with a 5th wheel hitch, the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400 should you need to tow a 5th wheel trailer in the future.

I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
