Yes, the procoptodon goliath had predators. The Varanus priscus (a very large lizard) and the Thylacoleo, better known as the marsupial lion, were predators of the procoptodon goliath.

The procoptodon goliah, a giant kangaroo species, likely became extinct due to a combination of climate change, human hunting, and competition with other mammals for resources. These factors put significant pressure on their population, ultimately leading to their extinction.

There was once a giant kangaroo, now known as the Procoptodon. It was one of the many species known as Australian megafauna, and became extinct thousands of years ago. The giant kangaroo no longer exists.

The procoptodon, or procoptodon goliah, was the Giant Short-faced Kangaroo which lived in Australia thousands of years ago. Fossils have been found in all of the mainland states (therefore, not Tasmania), but not conclusively yet in the Northern Territory. Evidence of this giant marsupial has been found in the Darling Downs in Queensland; around the far-fling regions of Tocumwal, Bingara and Lake Menindee in New South Wales; the Eyre Peninsula and Naracoorte Caves in South Australia; and the Nullarbor Plain cave deposits of Western Australia.

Protoceratops lived in what is now Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous period, around 75 million years ago. They inhabited semi-arid environments with sand dunes and sparse vegetation.

It is uncertain why the giant kangaroos (Procoptodon goliah) are extinct, but there are two main theories about what happened to the "giant kangaroos" that roamed Australia thousands of years ago.
One theory blames the arrival of the aboriginal people. However, recent research coming out of the Queensland University of Technology has indicated that their extinction may be due to a massive drought and climate change.

Kangaroos and rabbits are not related even remotely. They share no common ancestor. The kangaroo's ancestor was a much larger version of the modern kangaroo, and quite unlike any ancestor of the rabbit.

The kangaroo originated in Australia.
Fossil remains of giant kangaroo species existing in prehistoric times have been found in Australia. One example of these was the Procoptodon goliah.

The animal most people recognise as the kangaroo is common and not at all endangered. These animals, the Red Kangaroo and the two varieties of Grey Kangaroo, which are the largest of the marsupials, enjoy healthy populations throughout their particular habitats.
However, there are many smaller species of kangaroo, which are kangaroos in name only, and not in stature, appearance or even diet. Some of these smaller endangered kangaroos, most of which are actually wallabies, include the quokka, bettong, potoroo, tree-kangaroo, rufous-rat kangaroo (not to be confused with kangaroo rats), most species of rock wallaby and other wallabies such as the bridle nailtail wallaby. As for the reasons for their endangerment, in most cases it is the introduction of non-native predators such as foxes, feral cats and wild dogs which pose the biggest threat.
Not all kangaroos are endangered: you can search the IUCN Redlist for endangered kangaroos at the related link below.

There is no "average" height of a kangaroo. It depends on the species.
Red Kangaroos are the largest of the kangaroos. The Red Kangaroo averages 1.6 meters (5.25 ft) tall. Accounts of sizes greater than this are not uncommon, with some large males reportedly reaching approximately 2 meters (6.6 ft).
The smallest known member of the very wide-ranging kangaroo family is the Musky Rat-kangaroo, which is about 23 cm long.
Various other members of the kangaroo family - of which there are over 60 - range in size between those two.
This varies according to the different species.

You would have a real task on your hands finding any Eastern Greys, Western Greys or Reds reaching the size you quote. The Kangaroo industry has just about shot out all the biggest and the best at most they are only standing at full stretch up to 5 feet these days
It varies with the species. Some kangaroos are easily as tall as an adult human.
The average Red Kangaroo stands approximately 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) tall. Accounts of sizes greater than this are not uncommon, with some large males reportedly reaching approximately 2 metres (6.6 ft). The Red Kangaroo can weigh from 18kg (39 lb) up to 90 kilograms (198 lb) for very large specimens. The male is heavier, and tends to weigh an average of 65 kg (143 lb).
The smallest known member of the very wide-ranging kangaroo family is the Musky Rat-kangaroo, which is about 23cm long.
