bad idle

i have a 2008 f250 5.4l with 103000 miles bought her about 4month ago with 98000mile on her put a k&n air filter in her and always put fuel injector cleaner in about every 4 fill ups yesterday i noticed she was running ****ty on the highway going to work and home a very light shimmy and i always ride on the highway with crues control but notice a lot of extra downshifting more then usual and when i get to my destination and put her in park the idle goes down to 600 rpm and the motor shimmies if i give her a little gas to bring the idle up to 800 to 1000 rpm the shimmy goes away any ideas out there thanks
