Jim:
What I have done is put a bolt in the tie down hole and use an aircraft jack
to lift at that point. It seems to work fine.

Jim,
One easy way to jack your RV 8 is to use a muffler clamp placed around the
gear leg. Tighten the muffler clamp and use a floor jack or a small bottle
jack and it works just fine.

Jim:
I used a standard aircraft jack (intended for a Bonanza) on the wing
tie-down. It has a concave top surface which the tie down ring fits nicely
into. Its been safe and secure.
