I'm guessing that an 8'11" door will be plenty high enough for you.

I'm at a little loss as to how you are limited to 8'11" if you have 10' walls and your door is on the gable end. The gable end is non-load bearing so you really don't even need a header, and even more any header should be able to be placed on top of the walls, so nothing would stick down except your door itself.
