I have a solution for you but the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7900 you were looking at only fits the Ram 2500 and 3500's because of the difference in the frame size on the larger trucks. For a front hitch receiver on your 2012 Ram 1500 there is only one option and it is the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 65062. The receiver extends below the front bumper.
