Someone had told me there were specialty garage door openers for situations like this, but I have been unable to locate any information. Since I will be replacing the garage door soon, there is the option of getting one with a lower height to accommodate the opener, but I would much prefer to keep the height the same to maximize the already low headroom.
Any help you can offer will be much appreciated.
yes, there are specialty garage door openers with minimum necessary clearance. I'm not sure what part of the country you're in, but in the midwest OVERHEAD DOOR and LIFT-MASTER are a couple that come to mind. My brother-in-law had to have one, they cost a little more(of course). check with your local specialty Window & Door companies, they should have some information to point you in the right direction.
