Steerer varies by frame size and by model, axle-to-crown only varies by model (except in the case of different wheel size for different sizes of the same model). When you buy an aftermarket fork it usually comes with a longer steerer than you're going to need and you cut it down to suit your stack height, but buying a used fork you need to check steerer length. Have you looked at Surly's touring forks?
