Also, this is a 1/2 HP motor - would this be suitable for a single, 8 foot insulated door?
I am closing on a house in a few weeks and anticipate changing out the currently banged up garage doors for insulated ones, and also changing out the shit craftsman openers they currently have.

Take that with a grain of salt tho, that's the logic I followed for my 2 car garage door in my new house. I'm not expert

I put in a Genie belt drive on my current, 8 foot DOUBLE door a couple years ago and it was pretty straightforward. I'll assume Chamberlain is comparable, the kit for the taller door amounted to a longer belt and a guide rail extension, nothing difficult

Curious tho - the genie you installed, did you have to get a rail extension? This one seems to come standard with 7ft rails and I thought that was pretty much the "default" expectation

Yes, I did (I mentioned as much).

My current GD I got on sale from HD as well, ironically it wasn't in the GD section - rather as I looked around for them, none in the typical clearance end caps, none in GD (not even a sticker as if they sold them), but there were a pile on a higher shelf over near the S4S wood. So, either they have a dumbass stock method, or someone was poorly stashing them for later purchase.

It's not ideal, but it is what it is. My biggest issue with the way the rail goes together is that the alignment isn't very "positive" meaning the extension just kind of sits in there with a wimpy screw in the top. When you tension the belt, it has to be tight enough so there's no backlash but too tight and it starts to bow the rail, and this is exacerbated when the opener kicks on (momentary compression force). Seems kind of lame to do it that way, frankly. It works though.
