Advice on workshop jack and axle stands

[Cortez]

Hi everyone. First post but long time lurker. Firstly, thanks to all the great contributors on this site I have successfully completed an Inspection II service on my beloved 2003 3.0d, replaced the drivers side door handle carrier and repaired the left rear brake light. A massive thank you to everyone for their contributions, without which, I wouldn't have known where to start for any of these jobs

My next project is to do the brake pads and rotors and I'm looking for some advice on a workshop jack and axle stands. My questions are as follows:

1) What load rating would people recommend for axle stands?
2) What load rating would people recommend for a workshop jack to lift both front of back tyres off the ground in one go?
3) What is the required jack height required to get the front and rear of the X off the ground?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice that you can offer.
