Noob here again. I was wondering if anyone has any tips about what I can do to improve cornering ability. I do not want to go around corners like a Bugatti Veyron but I would like to go on the freeway and go around ramp interchange curves at 60 mph without feeling like I am going to turn over. Does anyone have any particular brands of shocks and struts that can get me better stability? Or do I need to lower the explorer for better stability? Also, for driving around town in mostly 40 mph zones with stoplights, overdrive on or off?

I have heard lowering the truck and using low profile tire's will do it,

I have replaced the front coil using heavy duty tuff coil from oreilly for like 50 dollars and gas brusier shocks from carquest like 45 dollars on the front and it fixed the road queen handling. I hope this helps

As for the overdrive you can turn them off when in town or towing a trailer.

What year is explorer? Is it before rear stabalizer bar was offered? If so I would start there. Also if you have 235/75/15 tires I would look for 245/70/15 this will help enough.
