Default Missfire HELP!

hey guys im new to the site and i got a few questions!

The check engine light on my ram came on last week and read 3 codes: cylinder 4 misfire, cylinder 5 misfire, and multi cylinder misfire

i thought about it and it had been a while since i had changed the spark plugs so i went ahead and did the whole deal (champion plugs, wires, cap, and roter)
i cleared the codes and they poped right back up, im out of ideas, what can i do next to fix this? if it helps the misfires are not noticeable, i cant hear/feel them at all?
thanks!
Brad

The spark plugs. There's a TSB that deals with this and it's referenced many times here in this forum.
