Default Wheel bearing issues

Anybody ever have any problems with wheel bearings going out prematurely. I have a 3" lift and 31" tires put on a year and a half ago. It seems like I am replacing the right wheel bearing every year. The left side seems to be ok so I wondering what would cause the right side to constantly fail. Any ideas would be helpful.

Yeah they are timken bearings. As far as i can tell the ball joints are still solid. all the up and down movement I am getting is at the bearing. I know the alignment is out of wack but it's not very extreme
