What are you trying to align, and why? You need to have the vehicle connected to an alignment computer. They all do four-wheel alignments. Even when the rear wheels don't need any adjustments, all of the computers use them as a reference to set the front ones so the steering wheel will be straight.

Camber is adjusted at the bottom of the strut. Toe is set with the tie rod ends, just like on every other car and truck.
