that is why new technology leafs have graphite coating, and teflon pads in the ends to prevent squeaking.
yes rubber bushings from tires are durable, but it has its draw backs, it does not absorb impact as well as rubber ones and for 4wds it will not flex as much.
also sometimes they are made too thick that when you tighten the shackles it makes them hard to move making the ride stiffer also. go with poly bushings if you want.

Most of them come with metal inner shims. I have even seen some bushing kits also with outer metal shims. I think many 4x4 suspension tuning shops carry them as regular itmes.

what i do is spray WD40 sa leafsprings, pero ang nag-squeak sa revo namin minsan is yung rubber bushings between the chassis and the body nung inalog ko hehe..
