I'd lift the rear and spin the tires. see how many round it takes for the d-shaft to spin in order for the tires to go one round. if it's a little more than 4 then you have 4:11 if 4 adn 1/2 then you have 4.56 if a little more than half you have 4.88.
It also help if you tell us the tire size.

We can also take a guess at your axle ratio if you could tell us how many rpm's your engine pulls at a specific speed and a specific gear (EX: 3000 rpms @ 70 mph in 5th gear). You also need to tell us what size tires you have (maybe measure with a tape measure too). It seems that if you have a 7" lift, you're going to have some pretty big tires on that thing, and it's hard to say if the axles have been re-geared.
