Yup, the more information you give us, the better we can target suggestions.
The #1 cause of stalling at idle is a marginal battery. And yes, you CAN have a battery that is very capable of starting the engine, but marginal enough to give the engine management system fits and stall the engine. Very common on the 4.0. Have your battery "load tested" at any parts store. It's free.
