Question:

I already have a Morryde CRE300 on my 2020 Grand Design imagine XLS 17MKE. Is there any problem with also adding shocks?

Not at all!

A shock kit for your 2020 Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE will fit just fine with your MORryde CRE300 rubber equalizers, and will give you a much smoother ride as the shocks do a fantastic job of absorbing road shock.

Since your 17MKE has a GVWR of 6395lbs it more than likely has 3500lb axles.

For a shock kit I recommend the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3,500-lb Axle # RM-2450 which is designed specifically for 3500lb axles.

This kit will require your trailer to have the leaf springs on top of the axle for the shocks to fit. If your leaf springs are currently below the axle you will also need an over-under kit # K71-384-00 which will move the axle underneath the leaf springs and will lift the trailer by the diameter of the axle plus the thickness of the leaf spring stack.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
