Sure thing David!
You're going to need the following parts for your 2012 Ford F-450:
Torklift Hitch # TLF1002
48" Extension # TLE1548 (This is only rated for 6,000lbs without a weight distribution hitch, so to tow your 8,000lbs trailer you're going to have to use a weight distribution hitch # FA92-00-1000.)
Front and rear truck bed camper tie-downs # TL37FV if you do NOT have running boards under the bed (If you have running boards that go underneath you're bed, you're going to have to remove them)

Hey David, how did everything come together with the SuperHitch and 48-inch SuperTruss extension on your F-450? Did the setup handle your 8,000-pound trailer the way you needed once you added the weight distribution hitch? Your experience could really help others planning a similar towing setup.
