Get jackstands... they're cheap, much cheaper than the medical bills to reconstruct a crushed hand.

The alignment will be close, so you certainly can drive around on it, but to protect your tire longevity in the long term, you should re-align the front tires. Set the camber plates to zero, then have the alignment shop use the stock camber bolts. That way you know setting the top mounts to zero = stock camber. Then you can use the top mount adjustment yourself to play w/ the camber for handling.
