Default Teraflex shock question

Have my kit read to install, took out one of the TF shocks from the wrapping and there was oil all over. I am guessing this is fine, any comments?

Not good, A little oil on the shafts to prevent corrosion when shipping is ok, but oil everywhere (read as oil on the box, etc) is not good. Contact the vendor that sold you the kit about getting a replacement shock.

I'm definately leaning teraflex, if not by support alone. I've had an Unlimited in 07, never modded, I've just traded for an 09 black sahara 2dr. I'm gonna Man it up for sure. I'd been leaning Rancho, a brand I was familiar with, but the teraflex support here has really "rocked my world."
