Sometimes while playing Borderlands, I find a big red chest and then realize that the weapons are like +2 or +3 higher level than I am. I can't even play with those items until I level up.
Is it normal that the loots are uber-leveled like this?

It is normal for items above your level to drop when you are playing in a zone higher than your level (maybe you went straight through all the Story Missions without exploring and doing side missions, for example), or in co-op mode where the host is at a mission level (and therefore zone) higher than your level.
Enemy and item levels are based on the zone in Borderlands 2, kind of like most MMORPGs.
