'99 Ranger "shaking" while accelerating

Thank you all for the tips and advice, it's all very much appreciated.

I'll get out & buy some plugs, spark plug boot puller, spark plug socket, antisieze and dielectric grease.
I assume I can buy the dielectric grease at an auto parts store..is that correct?

Where exactly should I apply the grease? Antisieze I am very familiar with, but I've never used dielectric grease on the boots before.

Also, do the passenger side plugs need to be done from the bottom, under the truck?

And one last question, do I really need a torque wrench, or just common sense when putting the new plugs in?
