Talk to a garage door installation company and ask them to install the "Hi-Lift" kit. I needed a new door anyway and they installed it then. They basically add about 2 feet of straight rail to a standard one but charged me an extra 200 bucks.
You have to have a high enough ceiling or rafters for clearance, I believe my rafters are at 10 feet. We modefied the stringers (think that's what they are called) to lift a standard size car.
I would take a picture but am currently at the location.
