80mm fork on a Kula Deluxe?

Do you think that running an 80mm fork on a Kula Deluxe would make the steering too twitchy? I'm thinking about buying a frame and swapping my current parts over, but I'm questionning whether my 80mm skarab would do the trick or not. Thanks!

I ditto what Fluff says. Konas have slack head tubes, so it wont hurt at all. My Fire Mountain came with an 85mm fork and I kept the same travel when I bought a new fork because there was no way in hell a 100mm fork would allow me to still go around corner. Personally, I would spring for something like a Marzocchi MX-Pro ETA so you can run full travel downhill and in the rough and lock it down to 30mm travel on the climbs.
