I think you mean 5 feet and 8-9 feet?

You should be ok. My T2X has 2 feet of mast below the bearing,
a KT34XA (about the same load as the C31XR) just above the bearing,
and a 2 element Cushcraft 40 six feet above the XA. The T2X should
last about five years before it needs an overhaul. Plan ahead and put
another accessory shelf just above the rotor, so the rotor can be
removed for servicing without having the mast and antennas flop over.
