The correct rail kit for your 2012 Ram 3500 is the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit item # C16420-204. These brackets are custom fit and install in existing holes in your Ram's frame. This fits both the 6-1/2' and 8' bed lengths.
I have linked an installation video below.
To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
