I don't recall having plastic shims in my stock springs, but all they do is reduce noise. I would think you would need one in front and one in the rear of each leaf that rubs against another leaf.
I wish Tuff Country did install these, because twice a year I have to spray WD-40 on all my springs to keep the squeaks away.
