Something like spry sinews or Crane Stance for example.
The latter does reference High Jump and Long Jump, but only in regards to lowering the DC, which I consider to be a separate effect from increasing the distance of Leaps.
Also, boots of bounding.

It would affect the "Failure: You Leap normally" result of High Jump and Long Jump.
I would probably also allow you to use your normal (and item/spell/stance modified) Leap distance if it is better than what you rolled with a successful High Jump or Long Jump.
But since High Jump and Long Jump are intended to be used instead of Leap when you want to go farther than Leap allows - and mechanically High Jump and Long Jump are setting their distances traveled on their own rather than referencing* Leap distance: no I wouldn't have a bonus to Leap distance also apply to the final result of a High Jump or Long Jump distance.
*: They are setting an explicit distance or using the result of a roll. They aren't saying something like "you jump your Leap distance plus a distance determined by your roll". They reference the Leap action, but don't use the character's Leap distance in their calculations.

But on a Success it says "you Leap" with a capital L. And these abilities add a bonus when you Leap.
Is it your intent to argue that the character is not in fact taking a Leap subordinate action?
I myself would not add it if the same ability ALSO added extra distance to High Jump and Long Jump (as Dancing Leaf does), in effect doubling up, but I find it hard to believe you don't add a bonus to X when an ability says to add a bonus to X.
