framing door for bathroom with low ceiling

Hi,

I have a basement bathroom that I'm in the process of building. There are ducts going through about 85% of the ceiling in the bathroom, so I made the ceiling one height instead of a large soffit. The door into the bathroom can be standard height because it is in the small 15% taller part of the bathroom. I plan on making the door outswing as an inswing would hit the low ceiling. My question is how to I frame the ceiling near the door? Right now I have the ceiling framing made up of 2x4" on 24" center that start at the inside of the wall holding the door. I'm now thinking that won't work because the door jamb will hit the ceiling when I try to install it. Any help or suggestions?
