6' 6" door with 7' 2" headroom?

I want to convert my carport into a garage and install a roll up door. I only have 87" of height. One garage door company said I can only go 6' tall. 6' ? That's no good. I'd like to go 6' 6" minimum. I've been reading about low mount systems, super sneaky and so on. What about the torsion bar, I understand it takes 12". Is a rear torsion possible? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks Doorman! I don't know why the garage door guy told me it couldn't be done .... maybe he just wants the easy installs.

You gotta take side room into consideration too... Slope of roof? ....construction of carport, wood or cheep metal?
