Default replacing my front driveshaft with new Lucky 8. Tips?

Ive removed, rebuilt and reinstalled my driveshafts on a prior D2, but its been a while since doing it. Tomorrow Im swapping in a new Lucky 8 front driveshaft on my current 2003 D2. Its obvious which end goes where,....but thinking I may have read somewhere that the shaft should be rotated to a particular position.,....perhaps positioning of the Zerk fittings,.....Seems to me it can be installed either way, Since its a simple bolt on to a round, symmetrical flange...but just wanted to check before popping it in.

When i did it there didnt seem to be a way to install it wrong. Just dont be under it unprotected when the old one is ready to drop. Grease what, 5 new zirks?!

need 2 wrenches to get each bolt out. Simple.
