Your intake, and TB spacer wouldn't cause you that problem, but the plugs, wires, cap, rotor that could cause this as well as a few other things. Can even be as simple as bad fuel.
And maybe you drive like a grandma so you 4.0 is all carboned up. and that high rev cleared stuff up.
hahaha, JK

X 2 on thoroughly clean your Throttle Body inside and out. Pull out the IAC and clean the bore. Do a complete tune-up...plugs, cap, rotor, filters, fuel injector cleaner. I bet she'll run like a champ!!
