Since we are reviving old threads..... I use a flex ratchet and 1" extension on my spark plug socket. The hardest part is enduring the razor sharp heat shield
#8 Cylinder Spark Plug = nightmare!!

Lift front passenger side with floor jack and jack stand, remove front passenger-side wheel, band down heat shield underneath A/C accumulator, you have plenty space to access #8 spark plug. No fancy or expensive swivel spark plug socket set. Take you less than 1 hr to get job done, including wheel removal/installing.
When the front passenger-side wheel being removed, all passenger-side spark plugs can be accessed with regular Spark plug socket and some extension bar.
Don't spend over $100 tool for that single #8 spark plug, since you don't replace that spark plug more than twice in your truck's life span.
The basic tool you need:
Spark plug socket
3/4 drive 19MM Deep socket (removal/installing spark plug)
3/4 drive 19MM shallow socket (for hand tightening the spark plug)
3/4 drive ratchet
Floor jack & jack stand
Some Rubber gloves
Will post pix if members prefer.
