1998 Ford Explorer has had all the brake pads, calipers, roders, and master cylinder replaced yet the pedal has to almost go to the floor to stop. The brake line is not leaking. What else do I need to check? Very frustrated!

You must still have air in the system. Make sure you bench bled the master cylender, and make sure that when you bleed the system, do it in this order (RR, LR, RF. LF). Also, when you press on the brakes, have someone watch to make sure the rubber hoses to the calipers are not expanding.
