My thought, too. After all, it was adequate for the beginning of the season.
You'll need a jack, a short piece of 4x4, a ½-inch drill, a 6-foot piece of metal (or pipe) and four ½-inch bolts.
It's possible your trailer won't return obediently into alignment—which is a good indicator that there's
some strength left in the trailer. You could back a corner of your truck over the part that is "disobeying". (You would be using the jack to lift the trailer upwards—against the truck's weight—to return it into alignment).
It's a long story, but a hibernating Black Bear caused me to resort to a similar "procedure" 
.
'Sounds like a project that FLL would handle, so in addition to the above items, you'll need a couple of Big-Mac double-cheese, mushroom-bacon cheeseburgers, too.
Oh yes: join Triple-A just in case.
