As far as I knew, there is no way to install the steering wheel any other way, unless it was forced on somehow.
There may be differences with with other setups, but when I had mine apart, there was no way to install the rotating parts any other way, where splines were involved. The Steering wheel had a pretty large flat machined on it to only install one way on the top of the shaft. Same for the coupling to the steering box input. If you're not careful, you can accidentally install the oval shaft connections 180 degrees apart.
Now, if you have a borgeson steering shaft, it will not have a flat machined at the steering box input shaft coupling, so you can use those splines to reclock the shaft. I tried a borgeson for a while and decided I didn't like it.
I do agree with doing the 4 turn lock to lock check, but I'd be surprised if something was that far out that you needed to reclock one of the spline shaft couplings. The tie rod ends actually have a lot of adjustment, relative to the rotation of the steering wheel. One or two hole turns will not affect the strength of the connection, but the difference on steering wheel alignment in the cab will be very large. This is true for TTB and monobeam setups.
