yeah, it will need to be on the ground or the wheels just touching the ground to get it to line up.
you should be able to give it a quick toe & go wheel alingment on the garage floor using a tape measure & couple broom sticks or anything straight with a bit of length to it. at least then you wont scrub the hell out of the tyres on the way to the aligners, also the camber can be a bit exaggerated with it up on stands & the suspension at full droop.
once you get it on the ground & have a go at getting the toe in looking about right then drive it up & down the driveway as the wheels tend to hold a bit of +'ve camber from being up on stands.
