Unhappy Oil Pressure???

whenever i start my truck (94Runner) the oil pressure stays at the top of the gauge and almost into the Danger zone ( FLY AWAY TO THE..... DANBER ZONE DANGER ZONE!!) sorry little musical break there, any ways, it stays high like that even around 2-2500 rpms for about the 1st 10-15 mins,i never really observed this before, and it just seems a little abnormal to me, is it just becuase im in Colorado (colder, high alt) or just needs to get pumpin? just dont wanna cause some crazy damage... the last time a checked it was registering fine on the dip stick, kinda hard to check since i park on a Hill at home so i cant just check it unless i go to a flat place... also, i went in and asked some tire place about coil overs for my truck and they told me they didnt carry any, any suggestions? Type, brand, location...etc.

Thanks <>< Erik

first, what weight of oil are you running
and your truck has a torsion bar front suspension, as of now, no company makes coilovers for you, but there may be some kits in the making
