I would like to change out my 1 ton 8 lug front spindles for 5 lug will that work or do I need to change out the entire axle? Also would like to know if there is a rear axle that will bolt in place of the 1 ton?

spindles don't have lugs, hubs have the lugs ... the car 5 lug hubs will fit the 1/2T spindles, which are different than the 3/4T & up spindles, so you'd hafta find out if 1/2T spindles will fit the 1T axle
