Looks similar to the one /u/ohnotherobots used but at the time when I bought it in 2015, it was $21. Not sure why the price has doubled.
In terms of the act of replacing it. Its tough but not impossible. The hardest part is getting the actual pump out of the frame once you've undone the bolts. I fashioned my own pump puller out of bolts and L brackets I had laying around that worked well enough. Someone with welding abilities would be able to make a puller in 2 min worth of work
edit Also, the fuel filter is #FF3330DL from Autozone
MPFI is actually a good setup, even though people give it a lot of shit lol

You'll need both.
Squirt the filler neck hose with penetrating oil/wd40 now, and let it soak in for a day - that's honestly the hardest part is getting that fucker off. Once it's off, you can use a fluid transfer pump to drain the tank into another vehicle if you'd rather work on an empty tank.
If not, the just jack that shit off, take off the straps , and lower it on to 4 jackstands, remove the fuel lines and electrical connectors, then lower it the rest of the way.
I extended my hoses and wires so that I can drop the tank all the way to the ground without issue, might be something you want to consider as well (aside from the filler neck of course lol)
