A system (200) for shrinking landing gear (130) includes a shock strut (202) having a cylinder (204) and a piston (206) to be received by the cylinder. The system further includes an upper cam (304) fastened to the piston and a lower cam (206) fastened to the cylinder. The system further includes a brace (208) configured to be coupled to the shock strut to lock the landing gear in a deployed position, and to fold towards the shock strut during retraction of the landing gear. The system further includes a collar (210) coupled to the brace and the piston and configured to rotate relative to the cylinder in response to folding of the brace such that rotation of the collar rotates the piston and the upper cam relative to the lower cam, the rotation of the upper cam relative to the lower cam forcing the piston towards the aircraft attachment within the cylinder.
