the slipper pads provide the grip that actually drives your truck...so yes, you need them. if they are slipping out of the keyed section that the seat into on the spur, then you're probably letting them fall out when you install the slipper. Turn your truck on it's right side (so that the top shafts are pointing down) and let gravity hold the inside pad in place while you slide the spur onto the shaft.
Alternatively, get the RCShox Garodiscs. Mine fit SO perfectly into my spur gear that they essentially snapped into place and WILL not fall out...even when tapping on the backside of the spur.
