Use whatever gear that puts you at the speed you want to go. There is no set RPM to use for any situation. During the climb, upshift around 10,000 and keep upshifting until the bike stops accelerating. If it starts slowing down, downshift.

Just to let you know, it's not the shocks I'm worried about. Riding an overloaded bike is unsafe from every perspective. It's not just a suspension issue. All bikes have a weight limit. In your case, it's around 340 lbs.
