It is common for the spark plugs and ignition coils to go out and cause misfire issues. Here is a video to show you how to change out both the spark plug and ignition coils correctly, I would do all of them if the truck has not had a tune up.

The recommended spark plug type for a 2008 Ford F-150 with a 5.4L engine is:

Motorcraft SP-515 (OEM recommended)
Gap: 0.052-0.056 inches (1.32-1.42 mm)

Clear the trouble codes when completed. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
