Plug problems....Need help

So, my 99 f250 was jumping at low rpms when not under a load. after talking to many mechanics, they told me to replace my plugs and coils. Installed the entire left side(if your looking from the front of the truck) today and now my truck will not idle, and dies if I am not on the gas. Dont really know where to start, all electrical connections are together and everything is nice and tight. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this a V-8 or a V-10?

What brand of plugs did you use?

Did you replace the boots?

Why just the left side?

Might be cheaper just to take it to a local garage and have them run a diagnostic on it.
