W4 Withholding Certificate

So my wife and I are recently married. We are updating our W4’s. We have 2 jobs total. 1 job each. My yearly income is 85K and my wife’s income is 48K. Since her income is barely over half of my income would it be advisable for us to both check box 2C on W4 and that’s it? Or is it better for myself having the higher paying job to use step 2B multiple jobs worksheet? If I opt to use option 2B does my wife need to do the same, or does she just opt to checking box 2C? I want to make sure this doesn’t mess anything up if we decide to go this route and have too much federal tax with-held and still owe at the end of the year. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
