    Wind noise

    Tune

    EXTENDED REAR BRAKE LINE

    Sorry, it's been a while since I contacted them. If you read through the thread some had better luck via email. I believe there are other companies making custom braided lines. I'll follow up if I find something.

    explorer 1998, 4 door - suspension, shock absorbers problem

    There's your problem. If your axle is sitting on the bump stops you are bottomed out and have no down travel. Yes, tighten the torsion bolts until you get adequate bump stop clearance and both sides are close to the same height. Always check alignment after adjusting the torsion bolts.

    loose door latches or bad switches?

    Haven't browsed, but search through the "Similar Threads" on the bottom of this thread. Sounds like a common sticking door ajar switch to me. Here's an excellent tutorial video. Also check the commonly worn door striker bushings for wear. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174697956969
