How to raise the TM

I know this has been talked about before - but I can't seem to find it. It is vary hard for me to lift the front end without help from my wife. On the door side I have a solar panal which adds to the weight I'm sure. But the real question is ---are there any known problems if I lower the front a number of turns to help in lifting the front and then bring it back to level before lifting the rear?

Thanks
