I've worked for tire centers before. This was a common occurrence that I had the pleasure of helping resolve many times.
The tires and wheels both have high and low points. This is the reason tires and wheels have to be balanced properly. However, adding weights only alleviates some of the problems. The installer should have done a Static Balance. That's where the tire should have been installed using the High-Low balance. The high point of the tire with the low point of the rim/wheel. This reduce the amount of imbalance right from the start. The last thing is a Road Force Balance test. This goes a little beyond the norm of balancing. It simulates the imbalance with applicable road force to help determine what the balance is at operating weight. for some vehicles, it's not important ( small cars and small trucks ) . In the off chance that none of this works, you're probably looking at a defect in the new tire. This is very rare, or the off chance that the wheel was bent, and the larger chunkier tire dampened the imbalance.
I do hope this has helped in some way

Front end shakes,tie rod and upper ball joints have been replaced

Very little info for a fix. Tie rod and upper ball joints do not make a front end shake. Lower ball joints wear out before the uppers do.
Front end shakes at what speed, if you have a broken belt in one of your front tires you will notice it more at low speeds. Mud or snow stuck in wheel will make them vibrate at speed. Lug nuts tight since front end work? You need to give more info. Switch front tires with back tires. If shake is in steering wheel it more than likely is front end but if you feel it in your seat it is more than likely in the rear of the car.

My expedition, as im driving feels as if the tires had lumps oro something it shakes alot. what could it be

do a visual check of both front tires, look for bulges in the side walls and on the tread itself. check the rims for mud or someother foreign debris. if it does it even worse when the brakes are applied, probably a warped rotor

The front end shakes bad at 40 miles per hour on my 1993 ford f-350 crew cab 4x4

You may need your steering realigned, also, make sure you have your wheels bolted on straight. If those clear, get your spindles checked, along with your shocks.

Grumbling Noise

yes it could cause the noise also having 80% tread is not good on the transfer case as it will constantly be putting stress on it. replace your fronts with matching tires and the noise should go away

04 Expedition Front end Noise?

did you recently have new tires or rims put on? because it sounds like your tires are rubbing on your wheel well/mud flaps. if that's the case you'll either need to: downsize the tires/rims, remove the plastic covering the wheel well (not the body panel of course), or you could always get a lift haha :)....hope this helps ya out, good luck!
