2 inch focuser for 6 inch f 5

i'm thinking about building a 6 inch f 5 reflector.
could i use a 2 inch focuser with no problems?
the tube diameter would be 8 inch.
secondary size is 1.52 inch.
i would like to use a moonlite low profile crayford focuser.
i want a fully illuminated field and no vignetting.
this is for visual use, and not imaging.
would this work?
thank you for your replies.
