You have to have a stock truck measurement for reference. Measure from the fender lip to the center of the wheel on all four corners. Then compare to the measurements of the stock truck. Another way is if you know exactly what parts were used to lower the truck. If the truck was lowered with custom made parts then you will have to measure.

You could also post a picture up with wheel and tire specs and see if some of the lowered truck guys could make an educated guess...
