Depending on type, you can add tail rotor pedal to raise or lower a strut slightly. Especially types with high tail rotors. Best option is to add collective, use cyclic to center the attitude, then return to flat pitch and try to control the attitude as you lower the weight onto the struts. I personally use a combination of pedal and cyclic, typically it's because I didn't take enough pedal out lowering the collective, haha. High tail rotor thrust then rolls into the right strut, compressing it more.
