Mine does the same thing just put it on a week ago. I don't mind that its harder to open tho, I'm just glad my 37 isn't strapped down in the cargo area and its also nice to be able to see out the back window ago too

I wonder if it's the weight of the tire or just needs a little wd40. I'm gonna call teraflex later to see what they say.

A little WD40 is fine, it's brand new.
