Is it possible to set iPhone accelerometer to receive data in the ±8g range? (as far as I know ST LIS331DLH accelerometer installed on iPhone supports this mode)

Unfortunately, there is no native way to do this. On the other hand, if you are willing to Jailbreak, there is a Cydia tweak you can get (I can't remember the name) that reduces the sensitivity of the accelerometer. If you have the sensitivity of it at 25%, it should be able to sense ±8g. FYI, if you are reading the output from your app, it will still range from ±2g but with the tweak, you have to remember that the readings will be scaled down by 1/4. (Meaning 2g in the app = 8g in actual space).
