Amsoil BMK-11 question

If this isn't the correct forum for this, I apologize.

A while ago I ordered a BMK-11 oil bypass kit. I went to go install it this weekend but I couldn’t find any space under the hood or around the engine compartment that I liked. Either it was too tight of a space or in a spot I felt that was too “vulnerable” to damage from debris on the road or rocks being kicked up by the tires, etc. I did however find a spot back on the underside of the pickup bed right behind the cab that I liked. Besides the fact that this distance is MUCH further than the amount of hose I was given with the kit the other issue I ran into was if there would be any problems locating it that far away from the engine.

So my questions are this, does locating the filter that far back cause any problems? Can the oil pump move the oil that far? Will the filter still work up to its specified efficiency and flow rate?

Any help would be appreciated.
