It is worth it… For myself, I would not have a Prowler without one.
In my opinion, You will not see much benefit on an average ride on an average road. What you will experience is super enhanced “stability” on rough roads and cornering. It provides for greater confidence and control and on hwy speeds as well.

I put off buying one all these years. I picked one up for a super deal. After I had it installed I wished I had done it long ago. I agree that on a regular road you won’t notice much difference. But on rough roads or even just hitting an irregularity in a road it will no longer jar you to the bone.

Michigan roads are so bad the last time we drove up there in our Prowler my wife’s Fitbit recorded in excess of 4000 steps riding in the car after we crossed the state line from Ohio into Michigan.

I was under the impression that the one I purchased from another POA member was a Larry Lord Wonderbar. The box was still sealed when I bought and when I took it to be installed it was still sealed in the box.

Update : I just looked under my Prowler and mine is a Larry Lord Wonderbar.

Are you able to powder coat them in different colors?
