All lifts will settle down a little once broken in. I have a rc aal kit and have never heard of rc sagging more often. I did get the aal because I plan to go higher within about the next 6 months so sag wasn't a concern of mine

You may have gotten very lucky if your 3 inch lift gave you no wobble issues.
I have 3" lift. No new track bar. No wobble. I DID HOWEVER, drill a new hole for existing track bar about an inch toward drivers side and rebolt. Inspected wear on it the other day, nothing evident as far as wear. I feel it is very safe.
