I have a Mercedes Sprinter bottle jack rated at 2.6 tonne, I am assuming thats ok to lift the 90? I did buy it years ago from a recommend here in a job lot......What axle stand weight should I get? are these OK? https://goo.gl/gC4h8P or any other recommends. I am going to have a look at that front offside calliper and check the springs as the rattling is getting on my nerves now......

A standard 90 weighs around 1800kgs, depending on spec. You'll obviously only use one axle stand to support one corner at a time, two for one end, so in terms of load rating they don't need to be that strong. However, as LR's are high off the ground, you really need something substantial enough to be stable at the height that's needed. That means you'll end up with something with a higher rating as they're typically bigger when stronger.
I can't make your link work, unfortunately, but something like this from Halfords are pretty good: https://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/ga...xle-stands I like the ratchet ones as they're much easier to use than faffing about with a pin.  Darren

Afternoon,
I think you'll find the Silverline ones in your link too short to be much use. A max extended height of 420mm pretty much just matches the axle height with the wheel on. I recently bought a Pair of Bahco ones rated for 12 tonnes (as a pair). https://www.bahco.com/en/p/jack-stands-pai...-b2-3b-a5/ Overkill on the weight but they were ideal height (only clicked up by two notches) for changing pads and discs.
