Damn these things!!!

78 F-150 4x4 on 35 in. BFG M/T's. This damn thing is eating wheel bearings. I've put in three sets in 4 months. Any suggestions on something that could be causing this. I put the high dollar bearings, with some high dollar grease. i've put them in my buddies trucks a hundred times and no problems, with bigger tires. What could cause this before i kick this F$%#@&g thing off the jack stands.

What is the condition of the spindle / wheel bearing nuts / retainers?
Those might be coming loose, and messing up the works.
Are both sides doing the same thing?

my buddy had a similar problem it turned out to be the hub was messed up and when you put new races in they were cocked a little bit he would drive it for about 3 weeks and it would eat the bearings it was hard to find up in the air it would spin real nice. hope that helps
