Default Turn signal relocation question

I just bought the front turn signal relocation kit for my '01 sportster. It says that I need to lift the front wheel off the ground, but I was not sure if I really needed to. I currently do not have a lift/center stand but I didn't know if the wheel being on the ground would mess the forks up when I loosen the lower clamp. Thanks in advance!

I did mine on an 05 1200 several years ago, sitting on the jiffy stand, I think. 40k miles, no ill effects.
