Hydraulic levelers too low
I have had people comment as I would pull out of a site that my levelers weren't all the way up. They are, but still low enough to be a worry when going over speed bumps or into a parking lot. Particularly the two rear legs just behind the wheels. When raised they are below the axle. They would hit a chock block if inadvertently left behind the tire.
Anyone manage to increase the height on these? I'd rather have them a few inches higher and have to extend them manually each time than risk a ground strike.
This is, after all, an "off road" RV.

Yeah, that would probably help.
It's a 2020 Glacier Peak Titanium F28RKS.

Pulling into a dump station this morning, scraped the midship stabilizer on the dirt. I measured today and when fully retracted the ground clearance is 4 1/2". Granted, I have snap pads added, but that only changes about 1/2" .

With the shortage of parts available maybe they threw on longer jacks just to get it off the storage lot.

This photo of the same rig, from ORV site, shows how low they are.

Our is Hydraulic Leveling System, these are bolted on. There should be 4 bolts on each leg, you should be able to raise each leg up at least 1 hole to get more clearance.
Here is a link to the manual for all of their leveling systems:

We'll, doesn't appear to be room above them to raise them any amount.

If the picture that you posted of the trailer is actually showing the stabilizers in the "up" position, then that seems like a serious problem. Would be hard to take that trailer anywhere other than on level ground. Have you talked to the dealer?

Yeah, that picture is as it rolls, levelers up. I read that the installation manual for these suggests 7 to 9 inches of clearance. Mine, and I'm assuming all of these, has about 5.
Have not contacted dealer, yet. We are pretty much fulltiming now as we continue to wait for our house to be finished, and are making do with many things until it is (complete shower replacement, remove/replace slide out awnings pulling away from side wall etc).
I thought that I could bolt them up higher, and have watched a few videos showing how easy that is, but as can be seen in the photo I posted, there just doesn't seem to be room above them to do so.
