If you are loosing your balance so quickly maybe your tires are turning on the rim while air down. I had this problem while running a set of 37" swampers...drive to the trail everything perfect and air down. Finish run air up and ride was back was crazy. Marked tires placement on rim and yep tires turning was my problem. Also beat-on can get riped off while wheeling use only tape weights on the inside of the rim.

I get my 4x4's aligned and balanced at a shop that specializes in alignment/frame/balance work for big rigs. They high-speed balance the tires on the vehicle (which also dynamically balances the drive train), and have never lost a weight.
Of course, when I rotate the tires I need to get them rebalanced. It's worth it to me, the ride is sooo smooth.
