So I bought a pair of white sliders from my dealer the other day and I just went to put them on now.
They told me they would fit any xp shorty and came already cut...

Looks ok to me I would think the wheels will keep it off the skid

Normally they are about 2.5 inches longer then that.. wonder what they are? I suspect they will work ok.. I have a tendency to buy 137 inchers for mine and cut them down to fit... Ha ha.. maybe the white ones shrink more???

Well, where did the original ones you took off end on the rail? I just looked at my xp and they end about a 1/2 inch from the end of the rail.

I just replaced the ones on my 09 GSX. I got them from a local dealer and once I had the old ones off, I compared the old and the new and they were the same. With both old and new there was a little bit of the rail sticking out behind the slider - but nowhere near as much as you have. In fact, if you look closely at your picture, you can see a line going across the rail, just in front of the axle. I'd bet you that line is where the old slider left off.
UPDATE: The dealer where I got my sliders has an "OEM Parts Finder" (as many do) and I checked the part number for my 09 GSx and it is 503191301. Just for grins, I looked at the TNT and found that it is the same part number. But yours, along with the other "x" sleds have a different part number: 503190573.
Don't take my word for it, it sure looks to me like yours is different from the regular short tracks. I think if you get the correct part for your sled, they should fit with no cutting.
