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.
