On Titan tire chains # TC2228SCAM you are looking at chain links that are approximately 0.19 to 0.25 inches thick so less than a 1/4 of an inch. The chains are made of manganese nickel alloy so they are very durable and the square links offer the best traction.

It looks like your 2012 Ram 2500 has 5 possible stock tire options. To determine if these chains will fit I will need to know the tire size.
