tailgate not opening fully

Did a search - anyone run into this issue? Trying to figure out if it's a computer setting, leveling sensor, bad motor, etc and whether I can easily fix it myself. It stops about a foot shorter.started just last week and I keep hitting my head on it or I have to duck. it opens and closes automatically just fine.
