Let's keep this all in the same thread. Here is the post from the parallel thread you just opened:

My roof has a very shallow pitch, so I'd only be losing about 5 or 6 feet in height. What is the tallest mast I can attach to these mounts, what diameter pole, and where to buy? Although I would prefer not to, I could add two supporting braces if that would allow for an even taller mast. Where would I get these supporting braces if needed? |
Depending on windiness, I wouldn't go much over 5 feet on an J-mount with a DB4e. Lots of places sell these as kits with the 1.5" or 2" mast and all necessary hardware. Solid Signal comes to mind, Antennas Direct sell them as well.
