<< I just acquired a Tri-Ex THD-7122 light duty 122 foot guyed crank up
 tower.  It didn't have any guy wires and so now I'm looking for a good
 way to guy this tower.  It has seven sections and that comes to around 
 2000 feet of guy wire.  I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on guys, 
 but I'd like something that will work well.  I am a little apprehensive 
 about how much of a mess the wires will be when it is cranked down.  
 Any experiences or advice would be very much appreciated.   >>

      What does the factory say? Like-wise the manual? 

    Some crank-ups are designed for guying but not all. The guywire tension
adds more forces on the crank-up cables and pulleys so it's only recommended
if it's factory approved.
