shoulder plane / tilt set up

Do any of you set up with your rear shoulder lower than your front shoulder?

I realise that by virtue of the grip the rear shoulder is going to be a little lower than the front, my question though is whether people increase this difference by tilting their upper body? and if so then why? by how much? for which clubs? etc.

The reason I ask is that I have been struggling so badly (an unbelievable OTT heave) with my woods off the tee that I no longer take them out - teeing off with a 6I or rescue club.

Working on them in practice I tried, for no particular reason, tilting on the last dozen balls in the bucket; there was a marked improvement and I seemed almost pushed into a more in to out swing.

However I think we have all experienced false dawns at the range where a change coincides with a temporary improvement; hence this post to ask if there is any reason that the tilt would help and therefore I should persevere.

Cheers.
