Headliner won't sag unless it's having issues already. The material is attached to a hardboard type material and is stiff enough to be removed and reinstalled with out coming apart. To be on the safe side, it's best to have 2 people when doing this.

I installed cab lights last fall. Did not remove headliner, just lowered it a bit. I used the Pacer smoke lens kit and wired it up my own harness. I read too many bad reviews on Recon and they don't look like factory. Pacer has the same shape and lens as factory. Only problem I had was I ordered LED and they came with LED bulbs, not wired into the light assy. Turns out, this is better. If a bulb goes out, it can be replaced. If the assy died, would have to re-wire a whole new cab light. I also ditched the LED because they only shown straight ahead and were kind of yellow. They also sent me amber incandescent bulbs which I used and are brighter and actually orange. I tied it into the running lamps behind the light switch.
There are many write-ups on cab lights around the webz. Here's my favorite:
