Folding Tail Lift on My Pickup – Normal to Feel Heavy?

I installed a folding tail lift on my pickup for loading cargo. It works fine overall, but when folding the platform back up it feels a bit heavier than when it was new.

The lift goes up and down normally, so I’m not sure if this is just normal wear after using it for a while or if something needs maintenance.

Anyone here running a folding tail lift on a pickup truck? Is this normal or should I check something first?
