Not the answer you were hoping for, but consider replacing the Universal
tower with an AN Wireless AN-80, which will handle the windload of a
TH11DX and 2 el 40 and laugh at the wind. No guys required. My clients
have been very satisfied with them. And the paperwork is adequate to get
a building permit anywhere.
This also keeps you away from guying to trees, which was another part of
your question.
