Anyone here get a quick jack for their car? They put the jack points so far apart that I believe you need to get the extension. Just curious if anyone has gone down this route and what your experience is.

Yes. I have them also and yes, you need extensions.

That depends upon the model. From my research, some models are long enough to cover the jack-points on C-class AMG sedans while others require the extensions ... measure the outside distance between your jack-points, then see:

One thing you might want to do is to make a set of lift-point blocks that insert into the car's lift-point holes and "stick" enough so they hang, in-place. That way you can simply insert all 4 then do your lift, instead of having to set the lift-blocks on the ramps, raise the ramps enough so you can ensure they're aligned, start the lift, double-check all the lift-blocks have inserted/positioned themselves properly (or you can have body damage), the complete your lift.

I made mine out of some silicone rubber from an old concrete stamp mat plus some plywood, but I also have some I made out of just plywood that I use on normal hydraulic jacks. In the picture below, the top center/raised piece fits snuggly into the jack-point hole on our C43 and C63 S:


My lift is flush-mounted so I use some large plywood spacer-blocks (multiple thicknesses allow me some vehicle-clearance and some lock-position/height flexibility) ... the small rubber/wooden lift-block piece is what I insert into the jack-point hole, where it hangs in-place while I insert the large plywood spacer-blocks then do the lift (no second/third lift-point checking required):
