I know when static corner balancing a car, the more you raise one point on the car, the more weight is on THAT corner.

lifting is caused by jacking. You can look at it the same as a car turning at steady state around a radius. Variables that determine amount of total weight transfered is just simply =(weight*CG height) / (track length*G force).
To apply this in drifting, I would assume the car is at a 45* yaw angle. The track length would be the length between the "instant grip point" of front to the "instant grip point" of the rear.
