Not necessarily. You could probably get away with 2 sets of guys instead
of 3, but check the Rohn Catalog for details.
If you are buying new tower, 55 is actually a better deal in that it is
significantly stronger than 45 and, last time I checked prices, it wasnt
that much more expensive, and you can delete the cost of one set of guys
(if my memory is correct) which may also help out if you are
stacking/side-mounting rotating antennas. The only difference between 45
and 55 is the size of the vertical tubes.
GL finding used 55! I've never seen it for sale used.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 45vs.55G
Folks, what does putting up 100 feet of 55G, as opposed to 45G accomplish.
I expect the 55G is stronger and stiffer, but for amateur purposes,
wouldnt both towers have to be guyed about the same way? I would like to
understand the benefits of 55G. Im sure there are some.
