I bought Kohl's TST System and installed on my trailer. Is it normal for pressure to increase 10 to 15 lbs?

As everyone has said it is normal, the normally "accepted" amount of increase in pressure is right around 1 psi per 10 degrees of change in temperature.
Not to say you don't want to consider it but increases/decreases in tire pressure due to elevation gain/loss are really pretty insignificant, the change from sea level to 10,000' is only about 4.6 psi according to this website:

The ambient temperature and the increase in temperature created within the tire from it's load create the greatest pressure increase in the tire.
