Do you have to replace both ignition coils on a 98 Mercury Mountaineer V8 5.0 when...

...one goes bad? I had one go bad it was throwing a CEL code causing 2 misfires on the specific coil. I replaced that coil and the truck runs fine now. But i was wondering do i have to replace the other one as well cause i see on the 4 & 6 cylinders the ignition coil is one piece coil but on the V8 it's 2 separate coils. Will a new coil for the other side make the truck run much better & start much easier? Thanks
