Adjusting to keep nose up a tad?

[HydroMike]

Not sure but looks like the stuffing tube just in front of the strut is bent really bad not allowing the strut to be where it needs to be. I would say that would have to be as flat as can be

i would like to see the present strut location.

It may be possible to shorten the stuffing tube and reshape the bend to a more gradual bend.
