Front end needs a lift

My Classic Roadster built in 1997 has a 390 fe motor. I believe it has the original Mustang II front suspension (no mods). The problem I have is there is very little clearance between the tire and the top of the fender...so when I hit a little dip or bump in the road you guessed it, the rubber hits the fiberglass. The bottom of my oil cooler cowel is only about 3-3 1/2" above the road as well. Front tires are 235/60/15 on 8" rims. Is the clearance to the ground normal? Do I need to upgrade to a coil over shock to increase my tire clearances and raise the body up off the ground a little more? My thought is that the weight of the motor is causing the front to sag low. Any other thoughts or suggestions would be helpful, Thanks. John
