A couple extra tips.
door torsion springs:
In my case, I did not need to modify the door trosion springs. You will however need to loosen the springs all the way out - WARNING - you need to be careful here. There are several horror stories with people actually loosing limb, eyes, life...yep I said life not doing things right. I read a lot about the process until I felt comfortable enough. The process of looseing and tightening springs is straight forward, but people often rush or do not follow steps and that is how they get hurt. be careful, and again if you are not comfortable, contact a profssional, will probably take them less than an hour to adjust for you an it is money well spent. In my case, I made solid rods and markers on the rods to see engagement. simple tape trick,but worth doing it.
Door torsion spring pulleys and cable. You can buy new pulleys and cable at your local hardware store.
Garage lights:you may need to elocate your garage light if not recessed in the event you have lights over the car. Fairly easy depending on what you have, and most garages do not have extra lights.
door tracks. In my case I cut and modified my tracks as mentioned on the first post, however I woudl buy the kit (they may also include new cabls and pulleys and save yourself the time and hassle).
Good luck!
