Headset spacers

I just installed a new fork on my Heckler. I have not cut the steer tube yet and it appears I will need about 1.5-2" of headset spacers to get the stem to sit right. I plan to try it as is and adjust it if it feels too high. Is there any issue with running that much spacing? I weight about 275 and do mostly AM and light freeride.

Thanks for the advice. Went for a gentle ride with the full stack and liked it a lot. Came home and hacked off and inch. Hopefully I will like it even more. ATC is a bit higher than the previous fork, so I am still gaining some height. Otherwise I may look at getting a new stem.
