I don't know what the hydraulic jack has to do with it since the alignment needs to be done with the wheels on the ground.

Technically you can do an alignment but you will have to get/make specials tools and it will take quite a bit of very "picky" work. Toe-in is the easiest and I have done it a couple of times. As stated below, if changing parts you can take measurements before and get it real close. Also I have even "eyeballed" toe-in before and gotten pretty close. With toe in there is the issue of the "spreader bar".

Caster and camber get trickier. Probably not worth doing unless you are really interested in taking the time to figure it out!!
