1998 running rough

Hi
I have a 1998 f=150 with a 4.6 engine. The engine started running rough a week ago.
It sounds good at idle but when in gear and driving the truck sounds like it has an exhaust leak and very little power.
So far I've replaced the plugs,wires, 4 fuel injectors and tried cleaning 2 of the 3 oxygen sensors.

After replacing the injectors I noticed a strong smell of gas coming from the exhaust. I've disconnected the battery a few times hoping this would reset the codes.

Not sure where to go next
please any ideas would be a help
thanks

Codes and if your scan tool will show them PIDs would really help the pros with Internet diagnosis.
