Garage door springs.

I built new doors for my garage a little over a year ago. I think they are heavier than the doors I replaced. I do not think the springs have enough tension to help the door opener lift the doors. As a result it seems the door is cocking in the track and stopping about 1/3 the way up. No issues closing.

Any way to tell by looking the spring tension on my existing springs? The garage door store has several springs of varying tension but I don't know what I have in order to get the next level of spring.
