Ignition coils

I am going to swap out spark plugs on my 02 f250 5.4. I do not know the last time this was done or if it was even done. I'm at 140k miles. I was wondering do I also need to do the ignition coils? If yes what brand would you recommend. The prices seem all over the place for these. Do they really matter that much and are the expensive ones worth it?

The coils only need to be replaced if they are bad but you should do the boots. If you need a coil denso makes the motorcraft coils but the densos are cheaper only use denso or motorcraft. And only use motorcraft plugs I think its the auto lites are ok too but the motorcrafts aren't much if any more and you can get them form advanced auto if you have one near you and get a nice discount you should be able to get the coils and plugs and get 30% off using code trt30 I think you have to spend $50 to use that code and buy online and pickup in the store or you can have them ship it if you don't have a local store.
