Yes, all other things being equal.
That said, depending upon what I felt was the nature of the instability, I personally would find fixes in the suspension (proper alignment, better shocks, higher-rate springs) and aerodynamics (front air dam, possible lowering of vehicle, some sort of rear appendage that actually makes a difference) of a vehicle before weight would be a consideration.
