8 Degrees is really not that much. Rule of thumb is a maximum half bubble out of level.
You might find it interesting to take a level and a protractor out sometime and observe how far out 8 degrees is; it's a pretty significant slope. New wheelchair ramps, per ADA specifications, can have no more than 5 degrees slope. RV fridge makers often specify a maximum angle of perhaps 2 degrees or so (with some variation between models and makes and for front-to-back vs. side-to-side slopes, so consult your manual rather than taking 2 degrees as truth).
If I were parked on an 8 degree sidehill, I compute that I would need to stack five or six layers of 2x4 ramp on the low side to get my class C level. If it were a front to back hill, it would of course take a lot more cribbing since the wheelbase is a good bit longer than the track.
