[QUOTE="bjpederson, post: 91892, member: 1740"] You say two stories above but are the two stories above bearing on this point. Many basements are designed with load bearing point to support the floor but then additional areas above, i.e. roof are clear span. You do not have enough information to correctly answer the problem. Instead of asking here you should consult the truss manufacturer, that is what they are paid for. They can give you an answer in under five minutes. They will give you both minimum header sizing and the amount of bearing required for each side. the diagonals are doing nothing for you in the picture. [/QUOTE]
