I will be picking up a 2025 Avenue All Access 24rk next week, could someone confirm the standard space from the rear leveling jacks to ground. I have a driveway curb that has 6.5" height and i just want to determine if the jacks will need to be moved up.

They are easy to move up and you can use a few blocks when they are needed. My 32rls has about 7” of clearance but work for me are so close to the axle. If you are jumping a 6.5” curb, move them up and go slow.

The salesman got back to me today and said they have a 10.5" clearance, i giess I'll find out tomorrow. The curb is a slanted curb and definitely be watching it the first time i back in.
Thanks

I have a 2023 24RK. The rear jacks on my trailer are 7 inches off the ground and they cannot be lifted any higher as they are already topped out against the floor. I have already had to replace one jack that was bent turning onto the highway from a dirt road.

When we picked up our 2025 24rk, the clearance was 8.5", so maybe they adjusted the 2025 to allow for more clearance.

I would think that your hitch height would have an some effect on the rear jacks height. I have seen some that have a very high nose up attitude when traveling down the road!! Looks scary for sure!

No matter how you slice it the jacks are pretty close to the ground. You need to be extra careful not to let the tires leave the paved roadway.
I learned the lesson the hard way, in my first week of ownership I bent a jack mount.
Once you understand you cannot let the RV tires leave the paved surface you'll be OK.
Of course on occasion the wheels may leave the roadway, when this happens you need to ensure the unpaved ground is solid and the wheels don't sink into the soil. When wheels sink you are in trouble!
However on solid paved ground the low leveling jacks are generally not an issue
