I'm thinking about the walbro MP-14 smart valves instead of hydramat. Ever hear of them?

Pretty slick little filter pickup.  Cheap on Amazon too, $30.  Looks like tad over 5", just have to have enough hole to squeeze it in.

They are usually ganged together . One in each corner or at least one at each end if tank is long and narrow. Too bad they aren't e85 compatible.

Well I got the new pump and Hydromat in the Ranger. I needed a new sending unit so found a new one without a pump and went to town on it, just slight cutting on the lower hanger to get a Walbro 450 to fit, tied it into the 3/8 bulkhead with Gates 30R10 submersible hose then a SwageLok fitting to my 1/2" fuel line. The Areomotive 340 is a dog compared to this pump.
The hydromat is doing its job, I ran the tank down till the fuel light came on and then did a pull, no more starving the pump! Used to loose fuel at a 1/4 tank. It will definitely suck every last drop from the tank. The size of this sheet fits the rear Ranger tank perfectly front to back. Well worth the price if a sheet this small will work in your situation.

No doubt,hydramat is the top of the food chain .  I think the stuff is fantastic! It will also cost me about $600 to get a size that would guarantee fuel contact on a steep dune ,up or down,with a low fuel situation..I'm going to try the walbro thingies. With my long,narrow longitudinally mounted tank ,it will only take 2 placed at the extreme ends of the tank to where I think I could only have maybe 1 1/2 gallon and not suck air on a steep dune face. Good to hear you are happy with the hydramat!
