I know I've been asking a lot, but I'm trying to gather as much info as possible. What do you guys put an 8" dob on? Do you put it on the ground or can you by a tripod for something that heavy?

Put it on the ground. A dob is a type of altazimuth design, and attempting to somehow mount it on a tripod would defeat the whole idea.
