Bryan,

I had this very question last year when I was getting the parts together for my 140' rotating 55g tower.

Gerald, K5GW, quickly set me straight. While more expensive I ordered and installed the proper anchors, GAC3455.

Do not use the GAR30's.

Anyone using the GAR30 anchor rods for a 55g tower at 120-140ft? I see the 
GAC3455 rods are typically the spec but have noticed a couple of tower install 
photos on the net of people using the GAR's with the 5 hole equalizer plates 
for 55g towers. The load rating on the GAR's 7,330 versus the 3455's of 17,670 
is a huge difference so just might answer the question for me! Thanks for any 
feedback in advance!
