At the same time, he also converted the door from a single spring to a dual spring setup.

I'm ordering a lift tomorrow now that I have enough clearance.
Why don't you post a picture. It would be nice to see.

my thoughts exactly, or jsut add another section to the door and extend the tracs up another 2 ft, that will solve it and its a easy fix.
