A servicing tool may provide a portable, lightweight solution to adjusting the height of struts of aircraft. The tool may provide hydraulic fluid at high pressure to an already pressurized strut. The hydraulic fluid may be supplied to the strut by the tool at a pressure in excess of a pressured gas in the strut to increase the height of the strut. The tool provides techniques to raise and lower the strut when access to high-pressure gas is unavailable. Further, with the application of high-pressure hydraulic fluid, the tool may be used to increase the strut height while also increasing the stiffness of the strut so as to reduce a risk of dynamic rollover.
