i know a big problem on ford f450s is that condisation builds inside the coil pack. try remomeing them and air drying them in ur house for a day or two. that what i always do when a customer is to cheap to have them fixed properly.

Try cleaning the throttle body, especially the IAC.

I know nothing about the coil pack era Jeeps but it sounds like a IAC problem. Take that off and clean it carefully and watch that you don't bend or damage the pintle. re-install it and see if it makes a difference in your idle.

check for any vacuum hoses you may have knocked off or inadvertently broken during your maintenance.
