Scotty. I ordered 16 new Bosch spark plugs for my 2008 Ram 1500 5.7L engine.  Should I put anti seize on the plug threads when installing.

Depends on the spark plug manufacturer. NGK specifically states "Do not use anti-seize or lubricant on NGK spark plugs. It is completely unnecessary and can be detrimental."

Best to check with the manufacturer.

Yes.  I always use a small amount of anti-seize compound on spark plug threads, whether it's an aluminum head or not.
