With Rohn type tower, it seems there is a ton of bending/flexing with any weight, maybe a welded smaller diameter for leg side specific up to Rohn 55G with larger pipe side up to around 2 3/8"? Maybe a welded spacer from small side to large side (To get it away from the leg), kinda like MTow style but a solid piece?
