Question:

I have a 2006 PT Cruiser purchased the Curt receiver hitch kit but didnt look close enough and got the one without a ball thing.lol Ive seen the Euro ones stating that they have a 5 inch height is this the correct height for level?If so Id like to purchase 2 of em so I have an 1 7/8 and a 2inch ball ready to go when needed.

With Class I hitches like the Curt part # C45014 that you have for your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser you have to use the recommended ball mount from the hitch manufacturer. Which in your case is the Curt # C45520 which has a 3-1/8 inch rise.

For hitch balls you'd then want the part # C40018 for a 2 inch ball and # C40001 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
