Use quality primary wire; crimp and heat shrink all connectors; use quality plugs and connectors; be patient; and do everything with a high degree of workmanship.

GROUNDS, GROUNDS, GROUNDS! Be sure the factory ground strap from the engine to the firewall is there. If you have a radio, the factory ground from the hood to the firewall. Run extra grounds. Minimum, run a #4 gauge cable from a starter mounting bolt to the frame. Run additional grounds from the radiator support to the frame. Also run grounds from the cab to the frame and the bed to the frame. Be sure you clean any connecting points down to bare metal. I like to use a Dremel tool to be sure I get a good, clean connection.
I also like to coat any connections with dielectric gease, keeps rust and corrosion from building up. I also like to use star lock washers on electrical connections that use nuts or screws/bolts. I feel the teeth of the star "bite" into the metal better than just the single split of a standard lock washer.
