Bill, is your problem with clearance with your garage door due to the fact the door hangs down a little when it's open? I addressed this once before in another thread I believe......You can flip that little handle that puts it in manual mode once it's up, raise it a bit further, and put a stick cut to the desired length in the metal track where the steel rollers are to prop it up, giving you the additional height you need.

Kempert, a lift kit is the same one you can get at any Autozone, Advance Store, or Pep Boys for around $29.00 and install yourself. (Same one found on the typical "hot rod" to raise the rear end.)  All it consists of for the most part is a couple of blocks that go under your leaf springs and on top of your axle, and two longer "U" bolts with nuts. It raises yor TM for better clearance while driving in the back country. Hope this helps!
