Question what to do with an engine that's been sitting?

Finally got the truck on the road last night. The engine has been sitting for over a year so it pretty much runs like crap. I drove it last night a little, and it would idle okay but any throttle would make it start to bog down. Today I sprayed carb cleaner in the throttle body and put injector cleaner in the tank. I drove it around the neighborhood for about 30 minutes. It's doing better on accelerating but not much. What do I need to do to help the engine get running right again? It's got new plugs and wires, all fluids are okay.
