Yup, I've been using the ER80S-D2. Works well.

most people will tell you to you an 80,000 psi tensile strength rod, like er80s-2. myself adn many others think a 70,000 rod is better for cromoly. the 80000 rod leaves too brittle of a weld and may crack over time. the 70000 rod will flex with the cromoly.
