Question Garage door opening straight up

I have a really tall garage and I would like to modify the door so that it opens straight up. Trying to save costs and not turn this into the million dollar garage door, I figure I can rework the tracking, move the spring and such up about 6 feet and use one of those new idrive openers that attach to the center spring. So anyone think it could work? My concern is the force of the door will always be pulling the door down, not sure the opener can hold the door up like that?
