easy mod, but when I do it, I suspend my bike with an engine hoist. If you don't have a way to keep the weight of the bike off the front wheel, it could slide the forks through the clamps and then you're going to have a **** ton of fun trying to lift it back up.

if you must lower a bike, do so front and rear respectfully. Bikes are not cars or trucks and lowering affects the handling on bikes negatively.
