Will a good piece of leather work on top of the spring where it meets the cross member soak it in oil for awhile. Dp

I suppose so. I used a thin piece of .090 aluminum sheet metal. That was 10 years ago and it still works fine.

if you want to install cotter pins in the U-bolts I suggest you use something thin such as the leather or body webbing. Adding too much thickness may make the holes for the pins unaccessible.
 
I suppose leather would work but the original was an anti squeak material and Roy Nacewicz sells it for springs front or rear 1932-1948.
