Just an opinion but I believe that you want to be careful on putting a regular fuel filter before the pump. IMO, you should either put a "sock" on your pickup in the tank OR put a simple stainless mesh screen type filter before the pump and a real fuel filter after the pump.

Reason is that your drawing fuel under vacuum from the tank (unless you have a pusher pump in the tank) Most electric pumps have this type of screen built into the inlet on the pump. Then when the pump pushes the fuel out under pressure you put a normal type filter as the pump will assure good flow through that filter because of it being pressurized.

The flex hose from the rail to the pump is a must in my opinion.
