Lift is a function of air flowing over wings...let's say equally...in a substantial crosswind wing that is into wind would potentially have more lift as the wing downwind or the otherwise of fuselage would see less airflow due to fuselage partially blocking crosswind resulting in unequal lift by the wings Matt...landing with a heavier than normal fuel load demands wings support that much more weight.....quite possible my a normal airspeed approach added to stall potential.I was not there to experience conditions......just trying to help.
