I think I see what you're saying. It's hard to guage, but when I saw my tires balloon on a straight run, they looked like they were all ballooning by the same amount. Of course, if the truck is turning or there's a change in the ground traction (loose dirt etc), that will cause the left or right tire to balloon more because of the front/rear diff. Unless there is some "give" somewhere; like a center diff, a clutch of some sort, or there is some tire slip in the front or rear, they will all balloon the same since the tranny is driving both sets of wheels at the same time.
