When you buy a car the garage comes with the new car that you bought
If you have a chain drive garage door, there may be an Up Limit Cam Roller attached to a chain link assembly between the Door Opener unit and the Trolley where the release arm is attached. Loosen the Up Limit Cam Roller and move it a few chain links away from the Door Opener unit & toward the Trolley assembly. This should allow the garage door to open farther. Move as required to have the garage door fully clear the garage opening. The Up Limit Cam Roller assembly is what appears to stop the chain travel when it comes in contact with the Idler Sprocket at the Door Opener unit. I was the one who asked this question, but was able to figure it out after further review of my limited garage door opener instructions. I was having problems with the rear lift gate on my car hitting the garage door. This solved the problem.

I'm sure it is possible with a bunch of work, but why would you want to? A chain drive is heavier, requires more maintenance, will not last as long and is safer. Chain drive requires rear wheel adjustment every 300 to 3000 miles (depending on the model), lubrication with special chain grease (do NOT use WD-40 or 3-in-1), and if a chain comes off the sprocket, you are facing a rear-wheel lockup which can cause a crash at speed. Belt drive requires no lube, no performance loss vs chain, and if you throw a belt it will become shredded which avoids a nasty rear-wheel lock.
