Default Truck shakes like crazy!

Went out to eat last night in my sis 04 5.4 truck was runing perfect! Slowed down for a red light and the truck shook pretty bad at every light. So i limped home.
Now the truck shakes when at idle or coming to a stop, shakes at higher speeds but not as bad.

Any ideas what could make this happen?

What Brandon said. Could be coils or plugs, could even be bad gas.

Yeah I always run 91 or 93 when I can get it. Ive had my truck over a year and hasnt had anything but 91 in it. More mpg and power if you ask me.
