I have several wire antennas supported by my freestanding tower, all pull towards the same side and same general direction. Should I be concerned about the extra stress on that side? Should I be installing something to counter it... pull in the opposing direction?

Unless your have a lot of tension on your wire antennas, it seems unlikely that the strain on the tower could begin to be significantly loading the otherwise properly erected and guyed tower.
