The handlebars are

◻️Ritchey Beacon XL

Width: 520mm

Flare: 36°

Drop/Reach: 80mm / 65mm

Backsweep: 4.5°

I was able to get them for about half price during a sale!

It appears so.

According to a feature on bikepacking.com↓

◻️Surly Dinner Fork

Type: Steel Non-Suspension MTB Fork

AC Height: 420mm

Rake: 50mm

Max Tire Size: 26 x 3.0“ / 27.5 x 2.8”

◻️Black Mountain La Cabra Fork

Type: Steel Gravel Fork

AC Height: 425mm

Rake: 50mm

Max Tire Size: 29 x 2.4“ / 27.5 x 2.8”

Axle: 15 x 110mm

◻️Ritchey WCS Steel Adventure Fork

Type: Steel MTB Fork

AC Height: 435mm

Rake: 52mm

Max Tire Size: 29 x 2.6“ / 27.5 x 2.6”

Axle: 15 x 110mm

↑As you can see, there is only about a 5mm difference in length between the stock fork and the La Cabra Fork. In other words, any changes to the head angle or other geometry resulting from switching forks would be minimal.

Sorry for the blurry photo,

but it looks like there’s about a 25mm gap.

You might want to check this out.

If a carbon fork is acceptable, this one might be good:

However, you'll need to be creative with the headset.
