how dangerous is it to drive a wagon with bad springs and accumulators, SLS off?

I disengaged the SLS because it will only rise to max height. I'm 99% sure there's an internal leak, and it needs a rebuild.

The wagon is now suffering from a super-droopy rear end, and I can feel every minor dip in the road. New springs and accumulators are in order.

My question is, how dangerous or hazardous is it to keep driving? I can't immediately drop $400 on new springs/accumulators and a SLS valve rebuild. Is this road safe? Will it cause horrible wear and tear on the wagon?

Thanks...
