Garage door pre load springs

I have 4 springs on my garage door and there is a space on the end that could have another making 5. The garage door seem a little heavy. What is standard number of springs for the door?

Mine only has 4 also. I noticed other haulers (even same model as mine) have 6. I also have a space to add one more. The reason is (on mine anyway) when they made the door, they didn't get the spacing between the hinges right. I checked lipperts website for another spring so I could add one. $52 dollars plus shipping.

My Raptor 381 has 6. I actually have the opposite issue, my ramp levitates about 4-6" off the ground when opened, even with the extra weight of the patio rails on it.

I cut a 3 inch 1/2 cpvc pipe with 1/2 gray flex conduit over the cpvc pipe and forced it over the bottom part of the spring wile the door was closed . I may add a 3/4 conduit over the 1/2 and put a little tension on the spring . That helped , I addressed it to the dealer they said they would look at it. I have to remember this is the same dealer that told me me they used floats in the holding tanks.
