We just did this about 18 months ago when my son won the Titan lift at MCACN in 2016. You will most likely need to install a wall mount jack shaft opener in addition to revising the overhead door tracks for additional lift (brings door closer to ceiling as noted by Charley) The verticals are new for the extended height, new horizontals, lift clearance drums, new cables (longer) and the spring changes. You are almost getting everything new except the overhead door sections themselves. Since the door is now closer to the ceiling you may have to move light fixtures or other things in the way as well.
We used this operator

Total cost for the operator and door track/hardware modifications in Northern IL area was about $1,200.
A guy might be able to do this himself and save some bucks (the material was about half the cost) but we didn't want to mess with the springs or cables for the door revisions.
