Jacking the car up will not affect your alignment. The only way your alignment gets screwed uo is when you tweak or adjust the suspension and any of its components, or if you hit a really bad pot hole etc. Jacking up your car, taking off your tires will not mess anything up.

FYI...when doing your own alignement, drive the car onto ramps or stacked boards...you'll need the suspension loaded for a proper alignement.
