For your 2011 Dutchmen Colorado 260RL, the Stromberg Carlson Electric Landing Gear Set - Weld On - 34-7/8" Lift - 5,500 lbs # LG-1 will likely be a great choice, but you'll need to take a couple simple measurements to ensure a fit because we don't have any way of knowing what landing gear you currently have on your trailer. To do this just measure the mounting brackets on your trailer from the underside of the top bracket to the top of the lower bracket as shown in the diagram. So long as you have the standard 15-1/2 inches from inside to inside of weld stop and 17-1/2 inches from outside to outside this system will work for you.

Otherwise, if you have weld stop brackets which measure 20-1/4" from outside to outside, which is a possibility, then you would need to use the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set - 38" Lift - 12,000 lbs # UF17-943010.

I have added a link to a video review of both sets of landing gear for you to check out as well.
