Good idea! Could be done on air pressure in the oleo, not displacement though. Displacement is dependant not only on weight,but on ambient temperature and ,of course, correct servicing in the first place.
However a system that did it on pressure over all three oleos would certainly be feasible! Don't know why it hasn't been done-probably because aircraft undercarriages are designed by engineers not pilots!!
