Abstract
A trailer hitch alignment device comprising an upwardly directed generally arcuate cradle with a vertically elongated tubular socket pivotally mounted therein. The socket receives the lower end of a trailer jack shaft. A locking pin selectively locks the socket to the cradle to preclude relative movement therebetween. Removal of the lock pin allows a rocking of the cradle and a corresponding shifting of the jack shaft and associated trailer. The cradle includes multiple upwardly directed handle receiving pockets.
