(These are Pennsylvania rabbits, not jackrabbits. Thanks.)
2-3ft should do it. As an alternative to burying the fence deep enough to stop burrowing, you could try angling it at 45 degrees towards the oncoming rabbits. Then their ears will hit the wire far enough from the base of the fence to stop them getting underneath.
