Steps

  1. Confirm the reason for the high-lift conversion (added ceiling clearance underneath, an obstruction the door must clear before curving) and the extra vertical rise required
  2. Verify overall ceiling height and structure can accommodate the taller vertical track section and adjusted horizontal track pitch
  3. Install the extended vertical track sections and repositioned curve per the manufacturer's high-lift kit instructions
  4. Recalculate and reselect torsion spring torque/IPPT for the new travel distance, since high-lift changes leverage and the number of turns needed
  5. Rebalance and test the door through full travel before connecting or reconnecting an opener
