Default Advice: High lift garage door with Lift

Hi All,

I wanted to know what I should expect if I do a high lift garage door kit. I have a 4 post lift in my garage. The ceiling height from the floor is 9'9". I currently have 24 inch between the top of the door open to the ceiling. I am guess with a new 3800 opener I could lift it 20 inches or so. I have called a few garage door companies to provide a quote but they dont seem to have done this before, so I am a little worried. Here in Miami our doors are Hurricane rated so we have a 6" brace on the inside portion of the door limiting the inside head with door open.

So if you have a similar setup, how close were you able to lift your door.

If these companies are not able to provide a quote or do the job I might just do it myself.

Thanks for any feedback
