1997 explorer question

hi I am new and I have a few questions

1997 Ford Explorer
2dr 5 speep sport 4wd


with the used SUV I have a few question I replaced all the brakes,rotors, and bleed the brakes but yet I am still having a problem with the brakes the problem is the brakes are not clamping and I can't perform a complete stop without the anit-lock going off, the brakes feel very spongy. I had the Anti-lock checked and it needs a new speed sensor I was wondering if anybody has any expirence in replacing them? I'm not to familar on how they work because I this my first ford that I have owned so it would much appreciated if anybody could help me out on this. I also am looking to get a class 3 or 4 hitch so I was wondering if anybody knew of any good place to get one in the cleveland area or bordering area.

Welcome -

I also have a 97 - EB edition. I found a class 3 hitch on the internet at a place called e trailers or something like that. It's really nice, tucks underneath with only the receiver showing. Real simple installation too. There are several distributors around - I liked this one because of the way it looked on the site's photos.
